So much to learn in this modern age
Sometimes it hurts my brain
So much is new but we're still the same
We all still search for happiness
So I keep coming back to this

Chorus:
Hope and love make a life worth living
Lack thereof makes a man grow old
God is good and Jesus loves me
This I know

What I have found to be true and wise
Won't win the Nobel Prize
But the more I learn the more I realize
Though life remains a mystery
It still comes down to simple things

Repeat chorus
