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
