One Song a Day - Simple, Not Simple (簡單不簡單). Translation and song link in the bottom.
•
I used to think, these words should be on my tombstone someday. No, I guess I would not even care by then. And no, I do not even want a funeral after all (no consuming more of the world for the world’s sake, just so you know). Be nice to me, be nice to one another when we’re still around. Simple, isn’t it?

Simple, Not Simple
(Chet Lam)
•
Simple living is never simple
Simple choices are easy to understand but hard to comprehend
When the game is on you just cannot quit easily
You are too used to starting over again after every win or lose
•
Super highways are conquered by human hearts
Sceneries fall behind in the dust
Time is fair, it punishes friends and foes
Doesn’t matter you’re good or evil, near or far
•
I lived those hectic old days smiling
Everyday I felt the hunger
At the end of the day it’s not the meals or comfort, but love
Blue skies are luxurious and fragile
Like my heart always needed nurturing
If flowers and grass are ever beautiful
It’s because of the love behind
•
Sweat becomes steel
So invincible nothing can penetrate through
But if you see a little grass emerging through the cracks of cement
Will you still be touched and let your emotion flow like a river?
•
Simple life is never simple
Simple calmness vanishes in a twist of mind
Wandering through this world
Sometimes you cannot even trust yourself
Sincerity is actually difficult
•
After a hectic day I drift on the street
I still feel the hunger
I have never really craved for fame or fortune, but always been love
Blue skies are luxurious and fragile
Like my heart still needs nurturing
If flowers and grass are ever beautiful
It’s because once you loved me

曾經，我希望將來在我的墓碑上寫上這幾個字；後來，我想其實那個時候我應該不會再介意了；再後來，我決定不要任何葬禮墓碑，不希望再消耗這個世界的任何東西了，就在生的時候對我好一點，對大家再好一點，很簡單，不是嗎？

簡單不簡單
（曲詞：林一峰）
•
簡單的生活從不簡單
簡單的選擇永遠知易行難
遊戲一旦開始 投入了怎可退
嬴輸 再來 太習慣
•
高速的公路被人心征服
身邊風景過 退落塵埃之中
時間不會偏心 懲罰戰友敵人
無分 善惡 遠近
•
勞碌的當初 仍是笑著走過
每天常常感到飢餓
最終想得到不是兩餐飽暖 原來是愛
藍天的奢侈 原是脆弱不過
我心常常需要幫助
而一花一草倘若明媚動人
原來是因為愛
•
汗水變做鋼鐵 滴水不浸堅牢不破
看見水泥夾縫冒出小草一棵
誰仍會淚流成河
•
簡單的生命從不簡單
簡單的安靜 也怕轉念消散
遊走色相之間 連自己都不信
誠懇 原來也甚為難
•
勞碌的一天 流落擁擠街角
我心仍然感到飢餓
而貪的戀的不是名譽錢財
從來是愛
藍天的奢侈 原是脆弱不過
我心常常需要幫助
而一花一草倘若明媚動人
原來是因為你 曾用心愛著我
