Simple Joys
Marvin Gaye & James Brown featuring Maceo Parker

Verse 1:
Woke up this mornin', rain pourin' down,
But I put on my smile, ain't gonna wear a frown.
Got troubles surroundin', life’s not always sweet,
But I’ve learned to savor every moment that I meet.

Chorus:
Oh, life may be hard, but I find my way,
In the simple joys, I will stay,
Through the struggles and strife, I’ll keep holdin' tight,
The little things in life, oh they shine so bright.

Verse 2:
Got a cup of coffee, warm on my soul,
Sittin' on the front porch, feelin' so whole.
Birds are singin' sweetly, sun begins to rise,
In the chaos of the world, it’s the peace I prize.

Chorus:
Oh, life may be hard, but I find my way,
In the simple joys, I will stay,
Through the struggles and strife, I’ll keep holdin' tight,
The little things in life, oh they shine so bright.

Bridge:
Every hug from a friend, every laugh we share,
Moments like these show how much we care.
Dance in the rain, let your heart sing,
Through ups and downs, it’s the joy we bring.

Verse 3:
So when the shadows whisper, and the night feels long,
I’ll turn up the music, let my heart sing a song.
No matter how heavy the burdens I bear,
I’ll cherish the sunshine, let love fill the air.

Chorus:
Oh, life may be hard, but I find my way,
In the simple joys, I will stay,
Through the struggles and strife, I’ll keep holdin' tight,
The little things in life, oh they shine so bright.

Outro:
So here’s to the moments, small but true,
Every laugh, every tear, it's all a part of you.
Embrace the journey, let your spirit lift,
In the struggles of life, it’s love that’s the gift.
