Fisherman's Story Lyrics

Yeah, let me tell you my story

Livin' life simple, feelin' glory

I'm a fisherman, and this is my song

I know what I need, I don't need to chase for long

I sit beneath the shady tree, by the ocean blue

Caught my fish, now I'm through

The sun is warm, the breeze is kind

I've found my peace, I've cleared my mind

Then came a man in a fancy suit

Asked me why I don't pursue more loot

He said, "You could work, you could strive

Build yourself a big empire and thrive."

But I just smiled, said, "I'm fine

I've got enough, I've got my time

What more could I really need

Life's about peace, not endless greed."

Why should I rush, why should I run

When my day's work is already done

I could chase the gold, the fame, the high

But my real treasure's in the clear blue sky

Peace and love, that's all I need

Not a life of endless greed

I take my time, enjoy the ride

'Cause happiness is right inside

The man, he said, "Don't you see

You could have it all, just like me

A bigger boat, a larger crew

More fish, more cash, you know it's true."

But I just laughed, shook my head

"If I did all that, I'd end up right here," I said

"With all that wealth, and all that time,

I'd be sittin' back here watchin' life unwind."

I catch my fish, I live my day

I love my life in a simple way

I don't need more to feel complete

I've already got the world at my feet

Why should I rush, why should I run

When my day's work is already done

I could chase the gold, the fame, the high

But my real treasure's in the clear blue sky

Peace and love, that's all I need

Not a life of endless greed

I take my time, enjoy the ride

'Cause happiness is right inside

So, you see, my friend, I've found my place

I don't need to join that endless race

I've got my joy, I've got my day

I wouldn't trade this life away

Why should I rush, why should I run

When my day's work is already done

I could chase the gold, the fame, the high

But my real treasure's in the clear blue sky

Peace and love, that's all I need

Not a life of endless greed

I take my time, enjoy the ride

'Cause happiness is right inside

Yeah, I know what I got, and I know what I need

I got the ocean, the sun, and the sea breeze

I'm not chasin' more, I'm livin' free

This simple life is enough for me
