Hard Sun

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I walk beside her, I am the better man When I look to leave her, I always stagger back again Once I built an ivory tower so I could worship from above When I climb down to be set free, she took me in again [Chorus] There's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people Ooh, in a big hard world [Verse 2] When she comes to greet me she is mercy at my feet And I, I see her bitter charm, she just throws it back at me Once I dug an early grave to find a better land She just smiled and laughed at me, and took her rules back again [Chorus] There's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people In a big hard world Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people Ooh, in a big hard world [Verse 3] When I go to cross that river, she is comfort by my side When I try to understand, she just opens up her hands [Harmonizing Break] [Chorus] There's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people In a big hard world [Verse 4] Once I stood to lose her, when I saw what I had done Bowed down and threw away the hours of her garden and her sun So, I tried to warn her, I turned to see her weep Forty days and forty nights and it's still comin' down on me [Chorus] There's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people Ooh, in a big hard world Ah, there's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people Ooh, in a big hard world Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people Ooh, in a big hard world Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people In a big hard world Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people In a big hard world There's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people In a big hard world [Outro] (There's a big, a big hard sun) (Beatin' on the big people) (In a big hard world) (There's a big, a big hard sun) (Beatin' on the big people) (In a big hard world)
