Richard Ashcroft Lyrics
"Simple Song"

I opened up my eyes, swear I saw the light.
Don't you know the truth, it's so very hard to find.

Tell me, does it feel good?
Tell me does it feel right?
I'm singing (singing),
I'm singing (singing),
I'm singing, singing a simple song.

Some things die, to stay alive.
The teares we cry, we'll drink them sometime.

Yeah, I'm happy to feel this way.
Don't know another way.
I'm happy to feel alright.
Oh, it's the only thing that gets me through the night.
I'm not scared, 'cos I know I will survive.

That's right
That's right
That's right
That's right

Mercy has its place, I know I've made mistakes.
Please open those arms, fill me with your grace.

Tell me, does it feel good?
Tell me does it feel right?
I'm singing (singing),
I'm singing (singing),
I'm singing, singing a simple song.

Some things die, to stay alive.
The teares we cry, we'll drink them sometime.

Yeah, I'm happy to feel this way.
Don't know another way.
I'm happy to feel alright.
Oh, it's the only thing that gets me through the night.
I'm not scared, 'cos I know I can survive.

That's right
That's right
That's right

Yeah, I'm happy to feel this way.
You know, I don't know another way (Yes I know I can survive).
Yeah, I'm happy to feel this way (Yes I know I can survive).
'Cos I don't know another way ('Cos I know I can survive).

Oh my my my my my my, c'mon (Yes I know I can survive).
Oh oh my my (Yeah I know I can survive).
(Yes I know I will survive).

Uh uh uh uh uh ah ah oh
Uh uh uh uh uh ah ah oh
Uh uh uh uh uh ah ah oh
