The Leonard Lothlen Project - A Simple Song

I wrote a simple song, with simple words and harmony
Wasn't very long, before a star I was bound to be
I didn't care if it made the charts, I only wrote it for you and me
People think they're so smart, they're not as smart as they want to be
They took my simple song, they changed the words and the melody
Made it all sound wrong, and now it sounds like a symphony

Who told them to mess with my, who gave you the right, I want to know now!
That song was personal, I wrote it for you, it's yours and mine

God gave me a song
He gave me a simple song
God gave me a song to sing
With a sweet melody----
God gave me a song
God he gave it to me
God gave me a song

Who told them to mess with my song, tell me who gave you the right, I want to know now! That song I wrote it was personal ya see, I wrote it for you, it's yours and mine

God gave me a song
Well, well
God gave me a song to sing
He gave me a simple song
God gave me a song
So glad he gave it to me

Someone changed my words
God gave me a song to sing
Then they changed my melody
God gave me a song
My song is not the way
God gave me a song to sing
It's not the way God gave it me

I didn't write it for the money
God gave me a song
I Didn't write it for the fame
God gave me a song to sing
God gave me a song
God gave me a song
That I promised to sing
God gave me a song

He gave me a song
God gave me a song
He gave me a song
God gave me a song
They made it all sound wrong
God gave me a song to sing
He gave me a song
