Lyrics
Simple Gifts
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's a gift to be simple, it's a gift to be free,
It's the gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
Will be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend, we will not be ashamed,
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right
It's a gift to be simple, it's a gift to be free,
It's a gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
Will be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend, we will not be ashamed,
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right
Till by turning, turning we come round right
