A Simple Way to Exist

Today I woke up thoughtful, trying to understand
Why people choose to get lost
The world is not complicated, Lord
But people insist on complicating life

Life

They let themselves be carried away by illusions
Other people's ideas, without their own reasons
They move away from the truth, from simplicity
And they plunge into a false reality

The world is simple, we complicate it
With our choices, we so often make mistakes
But the truth is within our reach
Just see, take a step forward

They choose to close their eyes to reason
They cling to chains, they deny vision
But I know, Lord, there is a way forward
A simple and pure way of existing

Like the Sun that breaks through the darkness
Like the Sun, truth illuminates the heart
If we leave fear behind
We will see that peace is still capable

The world is simple, we complicate it
With our choices, we so often make mistakes
But whoever seeks the truth will find it
Mas quem busca a verdade, a encontrará
Just see, take a step forward

The world is simple, we complicate it
With our choices, we so often make mistakes
But whoever seeks the truth will find it
A new and free way to walk

It's that simple, God calls us
Leave the mess and the plot behind
Live in truth, in the love of God
Peace is near, within everyone's reach
