Jus some of the artists who sings a song titled A Simple Man - see if u recognise any one of the lyrics below for the particular one ur aftr:
LYNYRD SKYNYRD:
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.
(Chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
(Chorus)
Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
(Chorus)
ELTON JOHN:
I'm a simple man with a simple dream
In a far from simple time
And I paid the price of the road I chose
But at least the choice was mine
And the times I get the feeling
That the journey's end is near
But I prefer to die with my head held high
Than to live my life in fear
I'm a simple man from a time gone by
Growing cold and old alone
There's a time to run and a time to hide
And a time to head for home
To forgive and be forgiven
If it's the last thing I can do
Then in death's release I may find the peace
That in life I never knew
Cause I'm a simple man with a simple dream
I may never see come true
LOBO:
Where do butterflies go when it rains?
Who goes around & tucks in the trains?
What makes a teddy bear like to sleep?
Why do we all make promises that we can't keep?
Where do puppy dogs go when their sad?
And what do elephants say when their mad?
Who do you tell if you don't have a friend?
Why do we open our mouths and stick our foot in?
These are the things that bother me,
Not a lot of things across some sea,
I don't even have a master plan,
I guess that I am just a simple man.
Where do robins sleep on the road?
And how can a little ant carry that load?
Why write words that we have to erase?
Why does everyone have more than one face?
JAMES LABRIE:
A thousand years of sleep
I miss the rising sun
Wish I could change this
Always the same
With each one, every night
I watch as the light
Slowly fades from their eyes
Ohh so long
Long ago
What he took
Then gave to me
There is no end
It's not what I thought it'd be
Left drained, felt impaired
The eyes drew me inside
Hypnotic waltz from his stare
Letting go
Ohh I still love
With the night will arrive
The cobblestones
Light misty air
The brief caress
Our sweet affair
Ohh so long
Long ago
I was just like any of you
A Simple Man
There was nothing I could do
But I've grown so tired
There's no need to hold on
If you hear me
Just wanna be
Be the man I was
(Lead Keys)
Please believe
If I could
I would change
One thousand years
And still I am
Looking like the day
This all began
Ohh so long
Long ago
What he took
Then gave to me
take it back
And give back the man in me
I'm going on my way
I'm going where there's no desire
Goin' on where I'll stay higher than now
I want what you have taken
My life has been forsaken
Many nights I've lain torn, I'm breaking down
Why all this began
What's there to care for
Fade away
