Simply Be

© 2009 lyrics by Eve Fleishman

There are times when we all need

To separate the hunger from the greed

For what we all desire

Is just to stoke the fire

It’s such a tightrope wire

That we can’t see

We think the things we gather call our name

We’re drawn to heady notions just the same

But what is really there

And do we even care

Is it a silly snare

That fuels the flame

Maybe I could be with you awhile

Without all the effort of a smile

There’s nothing we must do

But share what’s pure and true

And simply be, simply be
