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 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
Till by turning, turning we come round right
