Hard to Build. Easy to Break.

Hard to build, easy to break

Cradle it in your arms

Oh, for your children's sake

Hard to build, easy to break

One little slip, oh-oh, that's one big mistake

All the future kings and all the future queens

Standing, impatient, in a row

All the future kings and all the future queens

Looking like the hero of their show

Hard to build, easy to break

Cradle it in your arms

Oh, for goodness' sake

And love the things you do not know

Eat the things you do

Hard to build, easy to break

Hold it, not so tight

Oh, that's a big mistake

Hard to build, easy to break

Cradle it in your arms

Oh, for their children's sake

Love the things you do not know

Eat the things you do

Then lick the spoon that stirs your pot

And eat the pudding too

Tend the flame that lit your way

Stop worshiping the ash

Sweep up all those broken things

And throw them all, in the trash

Hard to build, easy to break

Hold it nice and tight

Softly now, oh, it's awake

Hard to build, easy to break

Take that poison from your head

Now give it one good shake

Hard to build, easy to break

Hard to build, easy to break

Hard to build, easy to break

Hard to build, easy to break

Hard to build

Hard to build

Hard to build

Hard to build
