Life Isn't Easy
Life isn’t easy
Sometimes it makes us queasy
We say we’re alright
But we won’t be tonight
When we cry ourselves to sleep
Not making a peep
‘Cause we’re scared that if we’re heard
That people will think we’re absurd
But we can’t stop the tears from flowing
From going
‘Cause life isn’t easy
Sometimes it makes us queasy
And it’s hard to be strong
When everything is going wrong
You’ve got to find the way
To make it through the day
‘Cause your life has just begun
And it’s no time to run
From the present or the past
‘Cause the pain won’t last
And I promise you this
That you’ll someday find bliss
If you just be content with what you’ve got
And thankful that you’re not
Already dead
A rotten brain in your head
Life is not easy
And yeah, it makes us queasy
But we all have the chance
To come take a stance
Against hate
Against the fate
That comes from being silent
From letting your brother be violent
We could belong to Sheol
And be dragged down by the heel
Or we can keep on living
And use the gifts God’s giving
But of course it’s your choice
To stay silent or raise your voice
Life may not be easy
But we can make it breezy
We can go up in glory
And tell our own story
Stray away from the ugly history
Raise our hands in victory
I want to shout out with love
Spread my wings like a dove
They carry peace on the wings
And the song each one sings
Is one of triumph and might
Second chances and light
That is where I belong
That’s where I’ll find my song
I’ll be carried by the winds and fly
And I will wake to face the skies
I’ll put God’s glory before me
And I’ll live to tell a new story
Will you dwell in this hell
Or find a better story to tell?
