The Easy Ones

You can't just love the easy ones You can't just love the easy ones You've got to let them in when you'd rather just run You can't just love the easy ones You can't just play the simple songs You can't just play the simple songs You gotta knuckle down 'til your fingers are raw You can't just play the simple songs When I can face the ones I fear It'll all become clear Oh when I embrace the ones I fear It'll all become clear You can't just walk the shortest road You can't just walk the shortest road You've got to straighten your back 'neath the heaviest load You can't just walk the shortest road When I can face the ones I fear It'll all become clear Oh when I embrace the ones I fear It'll all become clear For all the suffering souls beside me I pray love will guide me I pray love will guide me home You can't just love the easy ones You can't just love the easy ones You've got to let them in deep when you'd rather just run You can't just love the easy ones
