I don't care how good you say you are
And I don't care how cool you look or how you've travelled far
If you like martinis dry or sweet
If Nike shoes or crafted brews are what make you complete

And I don't see the magic in your car
Or how it makes you feel so good to know the latest star
I don't notice the blue sapphires on your feet
Or how you gather leverage from important folks you meet

Can you show that you're joyful by the laughter in your eyes
Show some tenderness and keep the silence of the wise
It's a simple gift of living
Keep the silence of the wise

Well, I don't care which temples you have seen
Or all the quaintest ruins from the places you have been
If you know the poodles on your street
Wear your fancy clothes to shows or dance the latest beat

You might spend your weekend nights in bars
Looking over your friend's shoulder to see where your next moves are
Or slum it as the working-class's friend
Seeking out a rip-off bargain hoping it becomes a trend

Some words make our world go round and some get in the way
They can either leave us feeling bad or really make our day
It's a simple gift of living
Choose the words that make our day

Well, I don't care if you are hip or woke
Or if your clothes are upcycled or personally bespoke
If you're turning left whene'er you fly
Or if your accent's city, country or a vocal fry

What I care about is who you are inside
If you see a lonely hiker and you offer them a ride
When your friend is filled with sadness and despair
In those awkward, hopeless moments you come over and you're there

Can you talk to the homeless, can you show them that you care
Be there when you're needed, when you're wanted are you there
It's a simple gift of living
When you're needed, you are there
