Simple Things
Embracing Life's Simplicity: The Proclaimers' Musical Wisdom
Lyrics
You and I, we are simple things
You and I, we embody simplicity.
Oh, simple things we are
Emphasizing the essence of simplicity in our nature.
Feel the sun and all the joy it brings
Experience the warmth of the sun and the happiness it brings.
To the simple things we are
Highlighting the connection between joy and our simple nature.
Water rushing from a spring
Depicting the purity of water flowing from a spring.
Is the simple thing we are
Stressing that simplicity is akin to the clear, natural flow of water.
But any hour of any day there is wonder
Despite challenges, there is awe and amazement at any time.
In all our striving and our
Recognition of wonder in our efforts and struggles.
Courage and our thunder
Acknowledging courage and strength in facing challenges.
You and I, we are simple things
Reiteration that both individuals are fundamentally simple.
Oh, simple things we are
Re-emphasizing the theme of simplicity.
At any hour of any day there is wonder
Reaffirming the presence of wonder at any given moment.
In all our skiving and our cowardice
Acknowledging flaws such as avoidance, cowardice, lying, and mistakes.
And our lying and our blunders
Highlighting the contrast between positive and negative aspects of human nature.
You and I, we are simple things
Restating the fundamental simplicity of both individuals.
Oh, simple things we are
Reiterating the theme of simplicity for emphasis.
Simple things we are
Concluding with a reaffirmation of the essential simplicity of human nature.
