We All Want A Simple Life

I remember waking up in the morning
To the sound of rain
And the smell of fried eggs from the kitchen
As my mum was prepping for breakfast

I remember putting on my favorite record
Right after I came home from school
I danced as my grandma giggled
For she liked my dance moves

I remember falling asleep in front of the telly
I was watching my favorite show
My dad tucked me to bed while I fast asleep
I woke up in my room the next day with a slight confusion

I had a simple life
That I don't want to forget
We all have that simple life once
And we all want a simple life now

Then someday,

I will have that simple life again
I will be that mum who preps breakfast for my children
I will be that grandma who giggles at my grandchild's dances
I will have that husband who will tuck my children to bed

We all want that simple life
We all want to feel like we belong somewhere
We all want to feel loved
We all want to be surrounded

Safe to say
That my simple life
Is to have a family
To be loved and surrounded
By those you truly love

That is my vision
Of having a simple life
