Simple Life - Young Rising Sons

He lived in the mountains away from mankind

Built something from nothing

Not owing even a dime

He left so much behind

And when I discovered my grandfather’s life

My mountains, they turned into hills

That I could climb

I found a simple life

I found what I’ve been missing

Right underneath my chin

And I’ll keep my eyes wide open

Letting daylight in

I decided long ago that I’d be more like him

Whether rain, the sun, the sleet, or snow

It’s a simple life I’d live

If I was poor, or rich, or young, or old

It all hangs on a string

When my day has come I hope they say

It’s the simple life I lived

It’s the simple life I lived
