Soulfood
A simple start will send us on our way
A simple plan can free us from this spell
A simple dream may carry us one day
out from the fire and on to the wishing well

All this time spent chasing rainbows
looking for a pot of gold
But gold and things can never bring
back the chances that you’ve sold

So don’t you tell me about livin’ the high life
when your heart is sinking low
Don’t you know you could never go hungry
just as long as you feed your soul

A simple song will make us move our feet
A simple guess may show us what’s in store
A simple smile to everyone we meet
will break down the walls between here and Never Nevermore

All this time spent chasing rainbows
looking for a pot of gold
But gold and things can never bring
back the chances that you’ve sold

So don’t you tell me about livin’ the high life
when your heart is sinking low
Don’t you know you could never go hungry
just as long as you feed your soul

A simple life is all we really need
A simple stride will surely take us home
A simple love is easy to believe
and love keeps its own beat, so fuck the metronome
