Traveled to each oceans end
Saw all 7 wonders,
trying to make some sense
Memorized the mantra confucius said
But it only let me down

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?

stood here waiting
       Em
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 could have guessed
could be something as simple as this?
God knows how I could have missed
Something as simple as this
