[Verse 1]
Well I was stumbling on stones
When I came across your bones
And my reflection in the creek
You know you gave me quite a scare
How long have you been there?
You’re a regular antique
[Verse 2]
If you don’t mind I’d like to know
Do you rest up high or down below?
When the stream overflows
Where will you go?
Where will you go?
[Verse 1]
And I was plucking on my strings
When I heard the royal kings
And they were all fighting about the land
What’s yours was yours
But now is mine man
Can’t you read the sign
Take your flag from out my sand
[Verse 2]
So pardon me your royalty
I’m just a blind man and you can’t see
That this just my favorite tree
So let me be
Please let me be
[Chorus]
Because I said life
Is not a problem to be solved
It is a gift to be enjoyed
But all the curses I avoid
They wander back
And the more fences I put up
I feel trapped
You know I give and I give and I give
You know I give and I give and I give
And I get nothing back
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
And we were both eating mighty fine
At a restaurant so devine
That my taste buds couldn’t bear
They brought me out some fancy wine
There was flavored water
It was lemon lime
With some shiny silverware
[Verse 2]
In my mind we dine and ditch
Leave the cooks all the tips
I must have lied when I told you I was rich
I could only wish
[Verse 1]
You were clutching to my hand
Through the restaurant as we ran
For shelter from the swarm
With my unfolding master plan
You know I felt just like Peter Pan
You got the tights, I got the sword
[Verse 2]
And I don’t mind if you recite
Shakespeare all damn night
And when we argue about who is wrong or right
You’re usually right
[Chorus]
Because I said life
Is not a problem to be solved
It’s a gift to be enjoyed
But all the curses I avoid
They wander back
And the more fences I put up
I feel trapped
You know I give and I give and I give
You know I give and I give and I give
You know I give and I give and I give
And I get nothing back
Well I was stumbling on stones
When I came across your bones
And my reflection in the creek
You know you gave me quite a scare
How long have you been there?
You’re a regular antique
[Verse 2]
If you don’t mind I’d like to know
Do you rest up high or down below?
When the stream overflows
Where will you go?
Where will you go?
[Verse 1]
And I was plucking on my strings
When I heard the royal kings
And they were all fighting about the land
What’s yours was yours
But now is mine man
Can’t you read the sign

So pardon me your royalty
I’m just a blind man and you can’t see
That this just my favorite tree
So let me be
Please let me be

Because I said life
Is not a problem to be solved
It is a gift to be enjoyed
But all the curses I avoid

And the more fences I put up

You know I give and I give and I give
You know I give and I give and I give
And I get nothing back
