Traveled to each oceans end
Saw all 7 wonders

Memorized the mantra confucius said

Oh and the answer well
how could I miss
Something as simple as this
Something as simple as this

And all the while you were

But it left me looking to get higher still
Oh and the answer well

could be something as simple as this
God knows how I could have missed
Something as simple as this
