Simple Gifts

I like this tune and the philosophy in the lyrics.

SIMPLE GIFTS

18th century Shaker Song (traditional)

'Tis a gift to be simple,

'Tis a gift to be free, 

'Tis a gift to come down

Where we ought to be.

And when we find ourselves

In the place just right,

'Twil be in the valley

Of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gained,

To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed.

To turn, turn will be our delight,

'Til by turning, turning we come round right.
