Show me the magic, I must have lost it somewhere
In my dream so far away
I turn around, everything's changing but me
Where is the soul in my song
Once there was heaven in my eyes
Whatever happened to those skies
Could somebody show me how to get back
To a simple life
And out of the blue, temptation's all around me
A train came along and I got on board
Danced with the darkness, skies were the limit
It's such a long way to fall
And once there was heaven in my eyes
Whatever happened to those skies
Could somebody show me how to get back
To a simple life
I've done my time in paradise
I've tried it all maybe once or twice
Could somebody show me how to get back
To a simple life
Is there anything left inside me
Anything left here at all
When am I gonna slow down
To the rhythm of a simple life
Somebody show me how to get back
To a simple life
And I've done my time in paradise
I've tried it all maybe once or twice
Somehow the grass was always greener
On the other side
And once there was heaven in my eyes
Whatever happened to those skies
Could somebody show me, show me
A simple life, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've tried it all and I paid the price
Now I gotta find my way back
To a simple life
Once there was heaven in my eyes
Whatever happened to those skies
Could somebody show me, show me
A simple life
