Simple Soul Lyrics

I'd lift my head with each sunrise If I had a simple soul When I was weary I'd close my eyes If I had a simple soul Not too complicated to shiver when I'm cold I'd make my home where I am bound If I had a simple soul, simple soul I say my prayers and hope to God And I know he will know I will break my daily bread When hunger starts to grow It doesn't have to be that hard If it hurts you let it go What you see is what you are If you've got a simple soul, simple soul It might take an alchemist To turn your dust to gold But it only takes a child to see The diamonds in the coal It's not so easy when a habit takes a hold I never knew it would be so hard To keep my simple soul, simple soul
