Lyrics

0:46'Tis the gift to be simple 'tis the gift to be free

0:52'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be

0:58And when we find ourselves in the place just right

1:03'Twill be in the valley of love and delight

1:12When true simplicity is gain'd

1:17To bow and to bend we will not be asham'd

1:23To turn turn will be our delight

1:29Till by turning turning we come round right

1:47And when we find ourselves in the place just right

1:53'Twill be in the valley of love and delight

2:01When true simplicity is gain'd

2:06To bow and to bend we will not be asham'd

2:12To turn turn will be our delight

2:18Till by turning turning we come round right

'Tis the gift to be simple 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves in the place just right
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight
When true simplicity is gain'd
To bow and to bend we will not be asham'd
To turn turn will be our delight
Till by turning turning we come round right
And when we find ourselves in the place just right
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight
When true simplicity is gain'd
To bow and to bend we will not be asham'd
To turn turn will be our delight
Till by turning turning we come round right
