Give It A Rest

Give it a rest

Don't try to make it happen

Did you forget?

You gotta kick the habit

You can't remake the world according to your will

Oh, blessed boy

Our golden child of promise

We have enjoyed the light you've shed upon us

Let us attend unto that frail and weary flame

The weight of all the earth

Was never yours to bear

I guess we live and learn

Where can we be, but here?

Shimmering jewel

Your mother's crowning glory

Son of a fool

You chose another story

A family made out of more than flesh and bone

I know you're tired

It is a labored living

Much is required of whom too much is given

Don't leave us here

We need you now, just as before

I wanna hear you sing again

At the top of your lungs as we hit the interstate

Just like it's sunny with a high of 75

A glory that never fades

I know it's harder than we ever imagined

But brother bear, we are on the way

I wanna hear you sing again at the top of your lungs

Not a note out of place

Give it a rest

Don't try to make it happen

Did you forget?

You gotta kick the habit

You can't remake the world
