Looking down out of this little round window
On silver wings at 20,000 feet
At lakes and the streams and fields of green
I tend to think the most peculiar things
Ribbons of highways, side roads, and byways
People going all ways, always in a hurry
Gotta get there, but just where, from up here
I'm not sure where it's all going... or what it all means
But sometimes I think... it's just a simple thing
I close my eyes and I realize all I really need
Is the love I have... and the love I have to give
Anything else there is is insignificant
In this tiny life
Wheels hit the runways, Mondays run into Mondays
Some days are better than some days
I can't see the sky, skyscraper's too high
30-second daydream at another red light
I'm back in my hometown, on roads that we rode down
Those sights and sounds are yesterdays now
There's deadlines and stress lines, too much on my mind
I'm getting it all... but what's it all for
Sometimes I think... it's just a simple thing
I close my eyes and I realize all I really need
Is the love I have... and the love I have to give
Anything else there is is insignificant
In this tiny life
It's the love we make, it's the dreams we share
The friends we find in our short time here
It's knowing God's grace, the touch of a hand
Holding a baby, calling Mom and Dad
It's making the most of the moments we have
And getting to live long enough to look back
On the years, the sweet tears of joy and laughter
That's all that really matters...
Ohh yeah...
FINALE:
Sometimes I think... it's just a simple thing
I close my eyes and I realize all I really need
Is the love I have... and the love I have to give
Anything else there is is insignificant
It doesn't matter... in this tiny life
