    Just before the swearing in of the USAs new president, the music for this song was played. This has long been my favorite folk song. It's an old Quaker song. Here are the words:

    Simple Gifts

    '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,
    'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
    When true simplicity is gain'd,
    To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
    To turn, turn will be our delight,
    For by turning and turning we come round right.

    This is a good song of Humility and being humble is a good place to be, for it does always come out right!
