DID I SAY IT WAS EASY?
Did I say it was easy? Did I? Did I?
To look at a hole in the atmosphere - fear.
To feel the heat
To face the suffocation
To hear the green Earth sighing.
Did I say it was easy? Did I? Did I?
To live with AIDS and distress - stress.
To comfort a friend
To give consolation
To take the pulse of the dying.
Did I say it was easy? Did I? Did I?
To see a bomb through your window pane - pain.
To take the blame
To feel desolation
To hear politicians lying.
Did I say it was easy? Did I? Did I?
To swim in a sea of toxic waste - waste.
To swallow the pill
To lose inspiration
To hear starving babies crying.
Did I say it was easy? Did I? Did I?
To surrender yourself to highest light - Light.
To live in peace
To make compensation
To determine to keep trying.
Did I say it was easy?
