I think it’s time I got away
Stepped aside and made my escape
Because I’m not happy in this place
And I’m tired of living this way
I look around and all I see
Are miles upon miles of steel and concrete
And all I hear, the constant noise of machines
I just need some space to breathe
I’m going to simplify this life of mine
Leave all of these distractions behind
Find somewhere at last I can be at peace
Somewhere my spirit can finally run free
It’s about time I rearranged
Got my priorities straight
Because heart and soul have been neglected as of late
Need to slow down my hurried pace
There’s more to this than meets the eye
But the world that we’ve made has made us blind
Always some glowing screen or flashing light
It just doesn’t feel right
I’m going to simplify this life of mine
Leave all of these distractions behind
Find somewhere at last I can be at peace
Somewhere my spirit can finally run free
