A "Simple Song" for a complex time
“Simple Song”
Written by Nina Ricci
I forgot I had started this song until I looked back on a voice memo on my phone a few days ago. I was excited to find such a lilting tune, and set to finishing it off immediately.

Lyrics to “Simple Song”
Simple Song
Written by Nina Ricci
Verse 1
When times in life are so complex, they feel beyond control
I get a burning in my chest and want to shake the world
But, Mama gave me this advice when I use fiery words
It’s a simple gift God gives to sit and watch the birds
Refrain
This might be a simple song, and I’m a simple girl
Simple pleasures do the best to satisfy the soul
Verse 2
When I can’t ease my troubled mind, sometimes I like to wander
With a writing book to a lonesome place where I can sit and ponder
I rest beside ole Roaring Fork where water runs over the rocks
So loud it rushes in my ears and washes out my thoughts
Refrain
This might be a simple song, and I’m a simple girl
Simple pleasures do the best to satisfy the soul
Verse 3
When the rain beats hard on an old tin roof with the passing storms of summer
I feel the cool spray off the breeze and it lessens my discomfort
Then lightning bugs start coming out In the treetops by the million
They light a fire in the dark and give me happy feeling.
Refrain
This might be a simple song, and I’m a simple girl
Simple pleasures do the best to satisfy the soul
Verse 4
When this wicked world has you vexed and people’s hearts grow cold
It’s time to pray the old-fashioned way with hope our hands enfold
To kneel behind a wooden pew getting right with God
And pay the vows we know are due, keepin’ simple with the Lord
Refrain
This might be a simple song, and I’m a simple girl
Simple pleasures do the best to satisfy the soul
