lyrics

Lord help me remember the simplest things
because they're the things I always forget
of the thousands of points I can't help but remember
it's the simplest things I forget

I've got a house that keeps out the rain
and keeps me warm in the worst winter wind
when theres no comfort to be found in the world outside
there's always a respite within

Lord help me remember the simplest things
because they're the things I always forget
I've got all kinds of nonsense stuck in my brain
it's the simplest things I forget

I've got a family that laughs and cries
like I imagine most families do
and in the worst times of trouble there's still warmth in their eyes
and a love that's patient and true

Lord help me remember the simplest things
because they're the things I always forget
of the thousands of points I can't help but remember
it's the simplest things I forget

my day starts with a sunrise over the hill
splashing up on a canvas of grey
when it sinks again into the tall western pines
I say thank you, I can say thank you... for the gift of today

Lord help me remember the simplest things
because they're the things I always forget
of the thousands of points I can't help but remember
it's the simplest things I forget
it's the simplest things I forget
