     They think it hard 
     To steer a boat 
     Down the river 
     Around the moat 

     They think it hard 
     To ride a horse 
     Through the mountains 
     Of course, of course 

     They think it hard 
     To play a song 
     To do it right 
     And for so long 

     But what I think 
     But what I know 
     You can’t believe 
     It will not grow 

     I think it hard 
     To just be kind 
     So courteous 
     And be refined 

     I think it hard 
     To just be fair 
     To all around 
     And still to care 

     I think it hard 
     To live each day 
     Knowing it won’t; 
     Can’t go your way 

     I think it hard 
     To live my life 
     Without the will 
     And full of strife 

     So say again 
     What is so hard 
     When it’s easy 
     To disregard 

     And in the end 
     I think you’ll see 
     What’s really hard 
     Is what CAN be
