There’s a big
In a big hard world
Beating on the big people
Once I dug an early grave
When I go to cross that river
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
There’s a big
Beating on the big people
In a big hard world
Once I stood to lose her
A big hard sun
She is mercy at my feet
She just smiled and laughed at me
A big hard sun
Once I built an ivory tower
There’s a big
In a big hard world
She is comfort by my side
There’s a big
When I saw what I had done
When I climb down to be set free
So I could worship from above
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
When I try to understand
In a big hard world
She just throws it back at me
There’s a big
Beating on the big people
In a big hard world
In a big hard world
Oh, there’s a big
Beating on the big people
A big hard sun
Oh, there’s a big
In a big hard world
There’s a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
A big hard sun
When she comes to greet me
Of her garden and her sun
She just opens up her hands
Beating on the big people
Oh, there’s a big
Beating on the big people
To find a better land
In a big hard world
Beating on the big people
Beating on the big people
In a big hard world
And I, I see her inner charm
A big hard sun
In a big hard world
Oh, there’s a big
In a big hard world
I turned to see her weep
A big hard sun
A big hard sun
Oh, there’s a big
And it's still coming down on me
I always stagger back again
Beating on the big people
When I look to leave her
A big hard sun
A big hard sun
So I tried to warn her
A big hard sun
And took her rules back again
She took me in again
There’s a big
Beating on the big people
Forty days and forty nights
Bowed down and threw away the hours
There’s a big
In a big hard world
