LYRICS:

I know this life ain’t easy

Some days I wish I were water or stone.

Fear binds, but lovin will free me,

“Keep on,” they say, “child, stay soft.”

I know this life ain’t easy,

We’re taught to hold up our shield and sword.

Fear binds, but lovin will free me,

Pray, I’m gonna stay, stay soft.
