prefer

I prefer walking rather than running down the street
I prefer smiling rather than frowning
If it were up to you would you look at it the same?
Or would you close your eyes
have no voice of opinion of what is before you?
shame on you
Cause I say something's gotta give
I need a simpler life to live

look inside yourself
You best find a better way to measure wealth
Cause it's a simple life for a simple race
beneath the stars is where we find our place

It's a simple love I'm gonna spread your way
it's a simple life just living it day to day

I prefer climbing rather than falling from a tree
I prefer singing rather than whispering silently
If it were up to you would you look at it the same?
Or would You close your eyes and pretend you have no choice in this thing
Shame on you

Cause it's a simple life for a simple race
beneath the stars is where we find our place
It's a simple love I'm gonna spread your way
it's a simple life just living it day to day

I prefer helping rather than acting carelessly
I prefer living strong than living helplessly
I prefer living ain't that the way it's supposed to be?
If it were up to you would you look at it the same?
Or would you close your eyes and pretend have no choice in this thing
A used up puppet played by so many hands on a paper string
Shame on you

Cause it's a simple life for a simple race
beneath the stars is where we find our place
It's a simple love I'm gonna spread your way
it's a simple life just living it day to day.
It's a simple life I'm gonna spread around
I prefer feeling of elation
but If I cant see you
you will let us down

It's a simple world
make a stand
it's a simple life
