Hard Sun

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

There's a big

A big hard sun

Beating on the big people

In the big hard world

When she comes to greet me

She is mercy at my feet

I see her inner 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

There's a big

A big hard sun

Beating on the big people

In the big hard world

When I go to cross that river

She is comfort by my side

When I try to understand

She just opens up her hands

There's a big

A big hard sun

Beating on the big people

In the big hard world

Once I stood to lose her

And I saw what I had done

Bowed down and threw away the hours

Of her garden and her sun

So I tried to want her

I turned to see her weep

40 days and 40 nights

And it's still coming down on me

There's a big

A big hard sun

Beating on the big people

In the big hard world
