Simple As This

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 find
 ♪
 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
 
 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
 ♪
 Travelled to each ocean's end
 Saw all seven wonders, trying to make some sense
 Memorised 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 were 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
