Hard Sun

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
 There's a big, a big hard sun
 Beating on the big people
 In the big hard world
 When she comes to greet me she is mercy at my feet
 And when I see her bitter 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 blues back again
 There's a big, a big hard sun
 Beating on the big people
 In the big hard world
 Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
 Beating 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 hands
 ♪
 There's a big, a big hard sun
 Beating on the big people
 In the big hard world

 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
 40 days and 40 nights, and it's still coming down on me
 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 the big hard world
 Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
 Beating on the big people
 In the big hard world
 Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
 Beating on the big people
 In the big hard world
 There's a big, a big hard sun
 Beating on the big people
 In the big hard world
 Oh, there's a big, a big hard sun
 Beating on the big people
 In the big hard world
 There's a big, a big hard sun
 Beating on the big people
 In the big hard world
 There's a big, a big hard sun
 Beating on the big people
 In the big hard world
 There's a big, a big hard sun
 Beating on the big people
 In the big hard world
