Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Gary Osborne

I´m a simple man with a simple dream
In a far from simple time

And I paid 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 death´s release I may find the peace
That in life I never knew

´Cause I´m a simple man with a simple dream
