I been in search of stones
Making up the pavement of less traveled roads
Mining for treasure deep in my bones
That I never found
Went looking for reverence
Tried to find it in a bottle
Came back again
High on a hashpipe 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, the answer, well, who would have guessed
Could be something as simple as this
Something as simple as this?
Traveled to each ocean's end
Saw all 7 wonders
Trying 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
And 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, 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
