Looking down out of this little round window

On silver wings at 20,000 feet

With lakes and streams and fields of green

I tend to think the most peculiar things



Ribbons of highways, side roads and byways

People going all ways, always in a hurry

Gotta get there, but just where?

From up here, ?I'm not sure

Where it's all going or what it all means



But sometimes I think, it's just a simple thing

I close my eyes and I realize all I really need

Is love I have, and the love I have to give

Anything else there is - is insignificant

In this tiny life



Wheels hit the runways, Mondays run into Mondays

And some days are better than some days

Can't see the sky, skyscrapers too high

Thirty second daydream at another red light

I'm back in my hometown of roads that we rode down

Those sights and sounds are just yesterday's now

There's deadlines and stress lines and too much on my mind

I'm getting it all, but what's it all for?



Sometimes I think, it's just a simple thing

I close my eyes and I realize all I really need

Is love I have, and the love I have to give

'Cause anything else there is - is insignificant

In this tiny life



The love we make, the dreams we share

The friends

we have in our short time here

It's knowing God's grace, the touch of a hand

Holding a baby, calling mom and dad

It's making the most of the moments we have

And getting to live long enough to look back

On the years, the sweet tears of joy and laughter

It's all that really matters



Sometimes I think, it's just a simple thing

I close my eyes and I realize all I really need

Is love I have, and the love I have to give

Anything else there is - is insignificant

It doesn't matter, in this tiny life
