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 climbed 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 And when 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 blues back again There's a big, a big hard sun Beating on the big people In the big hard world Oh, 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 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 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 a big hard world Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun Beating on the big people In the big hard world Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun Beating on the big people In the big hard world Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun Beating on the big people In the big hard world There's a big, a big hard sun Beating on the big people In the big hard world Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun Beating on the big people In the big hard world There's a big, a big hard sun Beating on the big people In the big hard world There's a big, a big hard sun Beating on the big people In the big hard world There's a big, a big hard sun Beating on the big people In the big hard world
