Easy As Life (feat. Angélique Kidjo)

This is the moment when the gods expect me To beg for help, but I won't even try I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me But I won't lie down, roll over and die All I have to do is to forget how much I love him All I have to do is put my loving to one side Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation Passion would have cooled, and all the magic would have died It's easy It's easy Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him And how he would have been, will like to be with him today Tender in his manner and myself consolation All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away It's easy It's easy as life All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding Better the contempt of the familiar can not start It's easy It's easy And though I think about him 'til the earth draws in around me And so I choose to leave him for another kind of love Oh, this is no denial, no betrayal but redemption Redeemed in my own eyes, and in the pantheon above It's easy It's easy It's easy as life
