Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

There's a big, a big hard sun

Beating on the big people in a big, hard world

[Verse 2]

When she comes to greet me, she is mercy at my feet

And I see her inner 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 rules back again

[Chorus]

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 a big, hard world

[Verse 3]

When I go to cross that river, she is comfort by my side

When I try to understand, she just opens up her hands

[Chorus]

There's a big, a big hard sun

Beating on the big people in a big, hard world

[Verse 4]

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

Forty days and forty nights, and it's still coming down on me

[Chorus]

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 a big, hard world

[Chorus]

Oh, 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 a big, hard world

[Chorus]

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 a big, hard world

[Chorus]

There's a big, a big hard sun

Beating on the big people in a big, hard world

There's a big, a big hard sun

Beating on the big people in a big, hard world
