Can This Be My Simple Life

My life is so simple 
No blood on my hands 
I walk the straight and narrow
Something is offhand
I travel the road of complication
Never to be heard 
I sweat the ugly nature , coming within my age
My early recollections carve out my frame
Can I be some enigma ,dancing to a tune
My soul is so reverent that even I think of myself as a buffoon 
Oh please help me when I'm stranded sitting at the curb
I wish that I was so adept that even I could make the turn
Jesus was a savior,or so they say
Where is he when you need him ,even with his sway
God I want your magic give it to me in spades 
Return me to nature that is one wish i pray 
I just want a simple life even if its just one day
