Vocal Few - Simple And Free lyrics

My path in life was chosen In a flurry of emotion You know the music seemed to sweep me off my feet And I didn't have much choice But to follow her clear voice To try to find the things she had in store for me I could have been a scientist but I don't mean to whine It's just that I am so much more than what you see I could have been a million things to gain respect from kings and queens But I chose a minstrels life Simple and free simple and free simple and free I don't mind the fact these musical notes Haunt my mind and resonate from my bones Simple and free is what I said Simple and free ‘til I'm dead My path in life was chosen in a flurry of emotion You know the spirit seemed to take me by the hand And I didn't have much choice but to listen for his voice And try to help my boy as he became a man I could have been a novelist Unwinding worlds that don't exist or a hundred other things I do believe I could have written you a symphony Become the queen of everything But I chose a minstrels life Simple and free simple and free simple and free I lost myself inside these musical notes The melody swells and takes me home I've never been alone I will always find rest Simple and free ‘til I'm dead
