Lyrics

We’ve all had our breakdowns,
From too much pressure in this tarpit that we call life.
We can’t wait to be found,
Shown which direction, cus we don’t know which way is right.
Running in circles, chasing our tails,
Praying for a light at the end of each tunnel.
We’ll melt down,
The system is broken, without an end in sight.
So take me back to a simple place in time,
Where we live for each other and no one gets left behind.
Whatever happened to “it takes a village”, “this life is a privilege”?
And “love thy neighbour” thrived,
So take me back to simple place in time…
A simple place
You turn on the TV,
You’re surrounded by news of nothing but violence and pain,
Makes me think of my family,
How the hell are we supposed to raise our kids in this world full of hate?
You show them what’s right, but teach them what’s wrong,
You’re damned if you do, but they’re damned if you don’t.
It’s a mess now,
The world is hurting, I just pray to God its not too late.
So take me back to a simple place in time,
Where we live for each other and no one gets left behind.
Whatever happened to “it takes a village”, “this life is a privilege”?
And “love thy neighbour” thrived,
So take me back to simple place in time.
A simple place…
[Bridge]
So take me back to a simple place in time,
Where we live for each other and no one gets left behind.
Whatever happened to “it takes a village”, “this life is a privilege”?
And “love thy neighbour” thrived,
So take me back to simple place in time…
A simple place,
A simple place in time.
A simple place,
In my mind.
