From the recording Opal Essence (digital download)
Lyrics
He’s never had much of anything
But he screams for joy for the shoes on his feet
He’s never known much of anything
But he teaches me every time we meet
We need more
Of the simple things the smaller things that connect us to the bigger things
A saving grace
To offer us a guiding ray to lead us when we go astray
He’s never lived outside of the pain
He bears everyday without one complaint
He still remains inside innocence
And he holds a light, which they cannot taint
We need more
Of the simple things the smaller things that connect us to the bigger things
A saving grace
To offer us a guiding ray to lead us when we go astray
He is for me
A chance to be
Better than I’ve been
He reminds me that
I cannot forget
To stop the hurry
Bask in the sunlight
Thank the source of life
We need more
Of the simple things the smaller things that connect us to the bigger things
A saving grace
To offer us a guiding ray to lead us when we go astray
He never asks why it’s been so hard
He won’t be the one you’ll find sulking in blame
You’ll discover he brings out the best in you
And when he’s away you’ll find that he remains with you
