A Simple Life

You could be the greatest hero in all history (Huh?)
You can lead our people out of slavery (I know, just like Joshua)
Women at your feet will fall
Wealth and fame, you'll have it all
And in battle there's no way that
You could lose (But why can't I choose?)

Samson, you were born for greatness
You were born to save
You can try to run
But you're the one
So be strong and brave
God has called His champion
I can see it in your eyes

But for now just let me be
Young and strong and free
Now just give me a simple life

I have never asked to be a leader or a king (So?)
And if my mother heard this call
Well, I'm not answering (Oh)
As a boy I dreamed of a simple life (Boring!)
A bed, good food
And a gorgeous wife (Wait until she hears you snoring)
It's my life, why can't I choose

Samson, you were born for greatness (You don't know this)
You were born to give (You can't see what I see from here)
You can try to run away (I should run)
But that's no way to live
You were born for this (Was I born for this?)
We both know that God has called a champion to rise
But now, just give me a simple life

Little farm upon a hill
And a pair of oxen to plow and till my land
Honor God, and I'll love my wife
Let me live the simple life

Samson, you were born for greatness
You don't have a choice (Why can't I live like all the other boys?)
It's time to grow up
Listen to God's voice
Yes, we know that God will call a champion to rise
And when that moment comes
You will stand and be the one
You'll be a hero in our nation's eyes
(I'll be a hero in our nation's eyes)

But for now, just let me be
Young and strong and free
Now just give me a simple life
