lyrics

Here I go again
Here I try to make something beautiful out of confusion
And I remember when there were simple tunes
With no deeper meaning and music was easy
As easy as pots and spoons

Everyone has scars
Everyone has times of insanity and of humanity
Everyone has stars that they wish upon
And wars they are fighting with nobody lighting the way
For what's right or wrong

Take a look in the mirror
The path has been clear all along

And I know someday I may find
There is no more to life than what's standing in front of me
And although I go out of my mind
Trying to reason with time it will always catch up with me
There's no pause or rewind
You just love every moment you spend in the sun
So this time the song is a simple one
This song is a simple one

Mmm...

Here I go again
Here I try reminding myself that I'm one in a million
And we all need a hand when the road is long
And what can I do but just strike up a tune
And invite you to sing along?

Bring your pots and your spoons and we'll take on the world
With a simple song
All we need is a simple song
Mmm...
