From the energy we use to the lives we lead
It's all interconnected, so we must take heed
Nate steps forth, with wisdom in hand
To speak of our journey, on this complex land
With resources dwindling and systems so vast
It's time to find a future that’s built to last
In a world built on layers, so grand and diverse
We've chased the stars, but lost sight of Earth's curse
Where do we turn when the towers they fall?
Listen close, for the answer in the call
Nate speaks, of a simpler time ahead
Gone are the years of the blind, misled
We gather here, for 'The Great Simplification'
To understand, to navigate our complex nation
With Nate at the helm, we'll find our way
Through trials and tribulations, a brighter day
The threads of our existence, interwoven tight
From energy to ecosystems, we'll bring to light
Nate lifts his voice, with clarity and grace
To see through the chaos, to slow the race
Let's reframe our minds, from want to need
In a world where consumption breeds greed
Hold fast to intention, each small step we take
A ripple in the waters, a change we make
In the heart of this tapestry, woven tight and true
Nate speaks of connections, of what we must pursue
The Great Simplification, a journey we must tread
To find clarity in a world where we've been misled
From energy to ecosystems, an intertwined fate
Let's build a future, before it's too late
The journey starts, with a voice so clear
Nate speaks of change, the dawn is near
In a world so tangled, we seek to find
The threads of truth, to ease the mind
We're on this path, to simplify our ways
From energy to life, in these coming days
