Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people in a big, hard world
[Verse 2]
When she comes to greet me, she is mercy at my feet
And I see her inner 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 rules back again
[Chorus]
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 a big, hard world
[Verse 3]
When I go to cross that river, she is comfort by my side
When I try to understand, she just opens up her hands
[Chorus]
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people in a big, hard world
[Verse 4]
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
Forty days and forty nights, and it's still coming down on me
[Chorus]
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 a big, hard world
[Chorus]
Oh, 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 a big, hard world
[Chorus]
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 a big, hard world
[Chorus]
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people in a big, hard world
There's a big, a big hard sun
Beating on the big people in a big, hard world
