Simple Man
Lynyrd Skynyrd Lyrics
Mama told me when I was young
"Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day, ah yeah"
"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman, yeah, and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"
"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied"
"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"
Oh yes, I will
"Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied"
"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"
Baby, be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man

Brother, God bless you and yours.
In time...in time ALL will be revealed.
"Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
And stars fill my dream
I'm a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed" - Kashmir, Led Zeppelin.

Homem Simples - Tradução
Mamãe me disse quando eu era jovem
Sente aqui do meu lado, meu único filho
E ouça atentamente o que eu digo
E se você escutar, isso vai te ajudar em algum belo dia
Oh sim!
Oh, não tenha pressa, não viva rápido demais
Problemas virão, e eles passarão
Vá encontrar uma mulher, e encontrará amor
E não esqueça, filho, existe alguém lá em cima
E seja um tipo simples de homem
Oh, seja algo que você ame e entenda
Querido, seja um tipo simples de homem
Oh, você não fará isso por mim, filho
Se puder?
Esqueça seu desejo pelo ouro do homem rico
Tudo aquilo que você precisa está em sua alma
E você pode fazer isso, se tentar
Tudo que eu quero para você, meu filho
É que esteja satisfeito
E seja um tipo simples de homem
Oh, seja algo que você ame e entenda
Querido, seja um tipo simples de homem
Oh, você não fará isso por mim, filho
Se puder?
Menino, não se preocupe, você se encontrará
Siga seu coração e nada mais
E você pode fazer isso, se tentar
Tudo que eu quero para você, meu filho
É que esteja satisfeito
E seja um tipo simples de homem
Oh, seja algo que você ame e entenda
Querido, seja um tipo simples de homem
Oh, você não fará isso por mim, filho
Se puder?
Querido, seja um homem, seja um homem simples
Oh, seja algo que você ame e entenda
Querido, seja um homem simples

Guys, HERE is Our TRUE Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL" <— YaH’s Crucifixion
He - "Behold the Breath"
“Behold the HAND that Beholds The NAIL”
PROVES - YAH The Heavenly Father HIMSELF was Who they Crucified
That is EXACTLY what Moses Wrote
Here is what they mean
YaH's Name:
(Ya)d + (H)e, as YaH is what Moses called Him and YaH Declared: "this is My Name, this is My Name for all generations" (Exodus 3)
YaH is The Creator of “MAN”:
Yad He, (HAND BREATH), as YaH's "HAND" Formed man from the dust of the Earth and His "BREATH" made him a living being (Adam)
YaH's Sacrifice of Crucifixion for “MAN”:
Vav He (NAIL BREATH), the "NAIL" through YaH’s "HAND", in Sacrifice of Crucifixion, that whosoever shall call YaH Savior, His “BREATH” brings forth life (Salvation)
How YaH arrives:
YaH arrives via the Tent of Meeting (Exodus 33:7:11, Isaiah 54, 55), where a Tent is erected outside the city, a cloud descends upon the entrance of the Tent and YaH appears...
Why they demanded YaH to be Crucified:
YaH was Crucified according to Hebrew law (Deuteronomy 21), to be Hung on an Almond Tree for BLASPHEMY as it was for His NAME they demanded Him Crucified. The Messiah claimed He was YaH...
HE WAS YaH!!!
HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH”
The Hebrew Book of Isaiah
Isaiah 42:8
"I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.
Isaiah 43:11
I, I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me.
Isaiah 45:5
I am YaH, and there is none else.

My mom was terminally ill and she wrote me a letter to read after she passed, and she told me to listen to this whenever I was missing her or feeling lost. Rest in peace, Mom.

I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family.
Edward Writt
The loss of a parent is never easy. They raised us . Always were there in good times and bad times . I thought my world ended when my dad passed. It was at that point in my life when I finally realized and woke up just how wise and smart he was. I started doing some really stupid stuff. 33 years old . NCO in the Air Force. Mom set me straight. When mom passed it was totally different. I was lost . I count my blessings that my wife Dora was there for me .

My "step"father Richard was the greatest man I've ever known. He loved my mom and her 3 crazy kids as his own for years without anything in return until we were old enough to realize how lucky we were to have such a great man in our lives. He taught us to love Jesus, be decent people, work hard, and take care of each other. He had a band and also taught us so much about music. After 30 years of being married to my mom, he passed away in 2020. My siblings and our spouses wrote his eulogy and made sure this song, Simple Man, was the 1st heard by everyone in the church who attended. He was the greatest man. I am so fortunate to have had 30 years of his time on earth being my dad.

Kinda reminds me of my dad who wasn't my father but took a chance on a woman he thought was cute and nice but also was my mom. I was 6 when they met 10 when they married.

How inspiring to others and a good heart felt story too.

Music has a way of bringing those we've lost. Back into clear focus if only for a moment. Before the here and now reminds us of the present. My brother introduced me to Lynyrd Skynyrd & lots of music. He passed at 38. 15 years gone and still hard to believe. He didn't get to meet any of his grandkids. He was looking forward to the day he would be a grandpa. Best big brother any little sister could ask for ever. He has got 3 dark-skinned black-haired brown-eyed grands that look an amazingly lot like him. Beautiful girls and a boy.. and the circle of life continues on here... Till we meet again on the other side RIP J.B.
