about

This slow-tempo folk song is about the power of songs. I truly believe that everyone has songs inside of them. It doesn’t matter how well you play or sing – the simpler the better, most of the time. Songs join us together, move us to action, and give us courage. This is not naïve sentimentality but a hope for the future.

lyrics

A Simple Song
Music and Lyrics: Barry Oreck (BMI)

Today I’ll sing a simple song
about how all people can get along
With harmonies and a sweet refrain
to touch our hearts and ease the pain
to touch our hearts and ease the pain

It’ll calm us down like Kumbaya
or lift us up like Hallelujah
Our words reach out like a shining thread
to give us strength on the road ahead
to give us strength on the road ahead

Give us all some hope and cheer,
remind us gently why we’re here
A song can do that now and then
a sweet reunion with a favorite friend
a sweet reunion with a favorite friend

Our cries, our calls, it’s history’s story
our dreams of lives bound for glory
We leave behind a little more
and learn from those that went before
try to learn from all that went before
