You and I, we are simple things
Oh, simple things we are
Feel the sun and all the joy it brings
To the simple things we are
Water rushing from a spring
Is the simple thing we are

But any hour of any day there is wonder
In all our striving and our courage and our thunder

You and I, we are simple things
Oh, simple things we are

At any hour of any day there is wonder
In all our skiving and our cowardice and our lying and our blunders

You and I, we are simple things
Oh, simple things we are

Simple things we are
