Lyrics

A shaggy beard, worn out clothes
A car that barely drives
He walks as though he's near death
But his spirit is still so alive

He doesn't have much to show
But he's happy with the life he leads
With a loving wife and a healthy son
He has all he really needs

May we all see the finer things
As they lay before our eyes
May we all take note
Of what's important in our lives
God help us realize
Simple pleasures have no price
Let us not take for granted
The finer things in life

Twenty years before, that same man
Was living as upper class
Then fire claimed his entire home
His worth was turned to ash

He lost his white collar job
While trying to save his mind
I guess the Lord then reminded him
At least his family was fine

May we all see the finer things
As they lay before our eyes
May we all take note
Of what's important in our lives
God help us realize
Simple pleasures have no price
Let us not take for granted
The finer things in life

May we all see the finer things
As they lay before our eyes
May we all take note
Of what's important in our lives
God help us realize
Simple pleasures have no price
Let us not take for granted
The finer things in life

May we all see the finer things
As they lay before our eyes
Let us not take for granted
The finer things in life
