Challenge the twist 
of the cynical eye,
See beauty around 
enough to jump for joy,
 
quiet lover, gentle woman 
doesn't make her shy,
the tiny voice, tiny bird 
loud as eagles cry,

I am a simple man and I will not deny,
but I carry inside me a river of fire,
 
If you don't leave the ground 
you wont learn how to fly
bury you head in sand 
if youre not willing to try

I am a simple man 
and I will not deny,
but I carry inside me 
a river of fire,
 
I am a simple man and I will not deny
I step of the ledge to river of fire
