Elton John - A Simple Man lyrics

Music by elton john Lyrics by gary osborne Released as a uk b-side in 1984 I'm a simple man with a simple dream In a far from simple time And i payed the price of the road i chose But at least the choice was mine And the times i get the feeling That the journey's end is near But i prefer to die with my head held high Than to live my life in fear I'm a simple man from a time gone by Growing cold and old alone There's a time to run and a time to hide And a time to head for home To forgive and be forgiven If it's the last thing i can do Then in d**h's release i may find the peace That in life i never knew 'cause i'm a simple man with a simple dream I may never see come true
