All you need is simple things in this world

Beautiful poem and a good voice. I loved it, well done.

[Intro]
I turned off the noise, let the silence in
Stepped outside and let the real life begin

[Verse 1]
No more headlines shouting through my phone
No more scrolling while I sit alone
I found my smile in a puppy’s face
Chasing tails in the backyard space

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Verse 2]
We played old board games on the porch that night
Fireflies dancing in soft twilight
Kittens curled up on my open lap
Kids spinning stories, sharing snacks

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Bridge]
Now I see the blessings in the mess
The messy joy, the sweet unrest
The little hands, the muddy feet
They bring me joy no post could beat

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Outro]
So I’ll stay here where the real things grow
With wagging tails and hearts that glow
Turn off the noise, and just be me
In the moment, wild and free
