Simple Gifts |
'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 shan’t be asham’d, |
To turn, turn will be our delight, |
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right |
'Tis the gift to be loved and that love to return, |
'Tis the gift to be taught and a richer gift to learn, |
And when we expect of others what we try to live each day, |
Then we’ll all live together and we’ll all learn to say, |
When true simplicity is gain’d, |
To bow and to bend we shan’t be asham’d, |
To turn, turn will be our delight, |
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right. |
'Tis a gift to be simple, 'tis a gift to be fair, |
'Tis a gift to wake and breathe the morning air. |
And each day we walk on the path that we choose, |
'Tis a gift we pray we never shall lose. |
When true liberty is found, |
By fear and by hate we will no more be bound. |
In love and in light we will find our new birth |
And in peace and freedom, redeem the Earth. |
'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 shan’t be asham’d, |
To turn, turn will be our delight, |
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right. |
