Simple As This

[Verse 1]

I've been in search of stones

Making up the pavement of less-travelled roads

Mining for treasure deep in my bones

That I never found

Went looking for reverence

Tried to find it in a bottle

And came back again

High on a hash pipe of good intent

But it only brought me down

[Chorus]

Tried institutions of the mind and soul

It only taught me what I should not know

Oh, and the answer, well, who would have guessed

Could be something as simple as this?

Something as simple as this

[Verse 2]

Travelled to each ocеan's end

Saw all seven wondеrs, trying to make some sense

Memorised the mantra Confucius said

But it only let me down

[Chorus]

Tried absolution of the mind and soul

It only led me where I should not go

Oh, and the answer, well, how could I miss

Something as simple as this?

Something as simple as this

[Bridge]

I've been falling, crashing, breaking

All the while you were stood here waiting

For me, girl

[Chorus]

Tried liberation of my own free will

But it left me looking to get higher still

Oh, and the answer, well, who would have guessed

Could be something as simple as this?

God knows how I could have missed

Something as simple as this
