Show me the magic
I must have lost it somewhere
In my dream so far away

I turn around
Everything's changing but me
Where is the soul in my song


[chorus]
Once there was heaven in my eyes

Whatever happened to those skies
Somebody show me how to get back
To a simple life


And out of the blue
Temptation's all around me

A train came along and I got on board
I danced with the darkness
Skies were the limit

But it's such a long way to fall

Once there was heaven in my eyes

Whatever happened to those skies
Can somebody show me how to get back
To a simple life

And I've done my time in paradise
I've tried it all maybe once or twice
Could somebody show me how to get back

To a simple life

Is there anything left inside me

Anything left here at all
When am I gonna slow down
To the rhythm of a simple life


Somebody show me how to get back
To a simple life

And I've done my time in paradise
And I've tried it all maybe once or twice
But somehow the grass was always greener

On the other side

[repeat chorus]


I've tried it all and I paid the price
Now I've gotta find my way back

To a simple life
