The Easy Work
The Easy Work
Five swallows sit – on a telephone wire
Resting their tired, little wings
I have not heard – a sad note or desire
In any of the songs that they sing
We have the easy work
But we still complain
We know dry ground needs water
But we curse the rain
We know the dry ground needs water
But we curse the rain
It’s better to take – the difficult path
Than to travel the road that is worn
Make your mistakes – and know you’ll be strong
When the hard times come and knock on your door
Many hands make this easy work
Let them lighten your load
And always know if you’re lonely
You are never alone
Always know if you’re lonely
You are never alone
[bridge]
Don’t count the days, don’t count the years
Don’t count the grains of salt in your tears
Don’t count the ways, in which you have won
Just remember to give, and remember to love
Remember to give, and remember to love
Please take me out – where the wild things still grow
Where no one can be seen for miles
Where I can forget – everything that I know
If only for just a short while
None of its easy work
So let’s set it aside
We can get to it later
Let’s enjoy the ride
We can get to it later
Let’s enjoy the ride
