You and I, we are simple things
Oh, simple things we are
Feel the sun and all the joy it brings
To the simple things we are
Water rushing from a spring
Is the simple thing we are
But any hour of any day there is wonder
In all our striving and our courage and our thunder
You and I, we are simple things
Oh, simple things we are
At any hour of any day there is wonder
In all our skiving and our cowardice and our lying and our blunders
You and I, we are simple things
Oh, simple things we are
Simple things we are
