Lyrics

[Verse 1]

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be

And when we find ourselves in the place just right

'Twill be in the valley of love and delight

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

And when we find ourselves in the place just right

'Twill 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
