Simple Life
Ben Kyle Lyrics

Lord, Lord I need the simple life
Expressing the need for a life that is based on simplicity and is free from complications and distractions.

Everything is in flux
Acknowledging the ever-changing nature of life.

That's why I don't say much
Understanding that speaking too much or taking rash actions can lead to regret later on because of how quickly things change.

If I should say something now
Recognizing the potential consequences of speaking impulsively in the moment.

I'll be wrong later somehow
Anticipating the way that words and actions can be judged differently when viewed in the light of future circumstances and revelations.

A healthy son, a holy wife,
Desiring simple and meaningful blessings in life that are based on strong family relationships and spiritual values.

I'll go and work out in the fields
Expressing a preference for physical, hands-on work over more complicated or intellectual pursuits.

And come home to my baby's meal
Finding joy in the simple pleasures of a shared meal and a loving family environment.

This loaf of bread and butter knife
Appreciating the humble and basic sustenance that life can offer.

This could get me through this life
Realizing that true happiness and fulfillment can come from embracing simplicity and finding contentment in the present moment.

How can we know what it means
Questioning the nature of knowledge and understanding, particularly when it comes to abstract or spiritual concepts.

When it means so much?
Wondering how to define or judge the value of something that holds deep personal meaning.

How can we love what we don't see
Pondering the challenges of loving or believing in something that cannot be directly experienced through the senses.

When all we need is to touch?
Suggesting that the human need for physical contact and tangible experiences can make it difficult to fully appreciate or connect with more abstract concepts.

Let's take this river and ride
Inviting someone to embark on a journey or adventure together, possibly as a way of seeking greater meaning or purpose.

Over to the other side
Using crossing a river as a metaphor for moving beyond one's current situation or limitations.

Let's take this rhythm and roll
Emphasizing the importance of movement, music, and flow in life.

Back before the things that we know
Suggesting that there may be value in exploring the past or the unknown in order to gain greater insight or understanding of the present.
