A SIMPLE SONG

there’s no freedom in pretending
no hope on senseless reasons
and since I profess the truth
i made this simple song

i am no songwriter but a slave to my pen
who follows its dictates again and again
i am not a man full of riches and fame
but I live in the light of a life without shame

this simple piece
is dedicated to you
I feel that you belong
among the chosen few
and with these words I’ve written
i want let you know
whatever you might feel
my ink won’t stop to flow

your smiles and simple ways will always be a part
of every song I’ll make from deep within my heart
and with this view at last I’ve found how to be free
and that’s to turn into songs all the beauties that I see

this simple piece
is dedicated to you
I feel that you belong
among the chosen few
and with these words I’ve written
i want let you know
whatever you might feel
my love won’t stop to grow
