[Verse 1]
Looking down out of this little round window
On silver wings at 20,000 feet
And lakes and streams and fields of green
I tend to think the most peculiar things

[Verse 2]
Ribbons of highways, side roads and byways
People going all ways, always in a hurry
Gotta get there, but just where, from up here
I'm not sure, where it's all going or what it all means

[Chorus]
But sometimes I think, it's just a simple thing
I close my eyes and I realize all I really need
Is a love I have, and the love I have to give
Anything else there is, is insignificant
In this tiny life

[Verse 3]
Waves hit the runways, Mondays run into Mondays
And some days are better than some days
Can't see the sky, skyscrapers too high
30 second day dream at another red light

[Verse 4]
I'm back in my hometown of roads that we rode down
Those sights and sounds are yesterdays love
There's deadlines and stress lines and too much on my mind
I'm getting it all, but what's it all for
[Chorus]
Sometimes I think, it's just a simple thing
I close my eyes and I realize all I really need
Is a love I have, and the love I have to give
Anything else there is, is insignificant
In this tiny life

[Bridge]
It's the love we make, the dreams we share
The friends we find in our short time here
It's knowing Gods grace, the touch of a hand
Holding a baby, calling mom and dad
It's making the most of the moments we have
And getting to live long enough to look back
On the years, the sweet tears of joy and laughter
That's all that really matters ooooh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Sometimes I think, it's just a simple thing
I close my eyes and I realize all I really need
Is a love I have, and the love I have to give
Anything else there is, is insignificant
It doesn't matter in this tiny life
