Little boys and girls, livin' lost in the world
I guess their mommas and their papas just forgot how to love them
Sad people everywhere, thinkin' nobody cares
How we ever gonna reach, each and every one of them

Oh the complicated nature in the way this world revolves
Can trick us into thinkin' we've got problems we can't solve
We gotta get back to the basics, break it down to black and white
Take a little time to rewind and simplify

Open up your heart, just one little spark
Can ignite that fire that'll guide us to Heaven
Right here, right now, everybody sing loud
One by one, we can help them together

Oh the complicated nature in the way this world revolves
Can trick us into thinkin' we've got problems we can't solve
We gotta get back to the basics, break it down to black and white
Take a little time to rewind and simplify

Oh the complicated nature in the way this world revolves
Can trick us into thinkin' we've got problems we can't solve
We gotta get back to the basics, break it down to black and white
Take a little time to rewind and simplify
Take a little time, take a little time
To simplify
