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
and when I climbed down to be set free
she took me in again
There's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world
When she comes to greet me
she is mercy at my feet
when I see her pin her charm
she just throws it back again
once I sought an early grave
to find a better land
she just smiled and laughed at me
and took her blues back again
There's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world
There's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world
When I go to cross that river
she is comfort by my side
when I try to understand
she just opens up her eyes
There's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world
Once I stood to lose her
when I saw what I had done
bound down and flew away the hours
of her garden and her sun
so I tried to warn her
i'll turn to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
and it's still coming down on me
There's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world
There's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world
There's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world
There's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

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 and when I climbed down to be set free she took me in again There's a big a big hard sun beaten on the big people in the big hard world When she comes to greet me she is mercy at my feet when I see her pin her charm she just throws it back again once I sought an early grave to find a better land she just smiled and laughed at me and took her blues back again There's a big a big hard sun beaten on the big people in the big hard world There's a big a big hard sun beaten on the big people in the big hard world When I go to cross that river she is comfort by my side when I try to understand she just opens up her eyes There's a big a big hard sun beaten on the big people in the big hard world Once I stood to lose her when I saw what I had done bound down and flew away the hours of her garden and her sun so I tried to warn her i'll turn to see her weep 40 days and 40 nights and it's still coming down on me There's a big a big hard sun beaten on the big people in the big hard world There's a big a big hard sun beaten on the big people in the big hard world There's a big a big hard sun beaten on the big people in the big hard world There's a big a big hard sun beaten on the big people in the big hard world [repeat fading out] Explain Request ×
