Simple As This

LETRA

Simple As This

I've been in search of stones
making up the pavement of less traveled roads
mining for treasure deep in my bones
that I'd never found
when looking forever ends
try to find it in a bottle and came back again
I own a hash pipe of good intent
but it only brought me down

Tried institution 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

Traveled to each Oceans ends
Saw all seven wonders, try to make some sense
memorized the mantra Confucius said
but it only let me down

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

I've been falling, crashing, breaking
all the while you stood here waiting for me girl...

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
