The Right Thing Is Hard to Do

As a child, I used to hide In the nooks of playground slides And time, time was on my side Then the years went by and I Found different ways to hide I learned how to lie and keep the things I felt inside The right thing is hard to do When you've got so much to lose Still in fear, it's hard to move When you've got so much to prove Doubt, ebbs and flows Well, I'll let it flow So they say they'll build a wall Of steel that rises grim and tall And turn away those seeking shelter most of all Fires burn and the waters rise As we turn from what we know is right And time, is time still on our side? The hard thing is right to do When we've got so much to lose And closer to the root, I see When I look past the fallen leaves Love steady grows So I'll let it grow, grow and grow So I'll let it grow
