Hey Folks,
Here’s the latest instalment from my “Songs from Home” series; It Ain’t Easy. I started writing this tune right before the first lockdown. I find it funny to look back on some of the lyrics as they have become more relevant than ever to me over the last two years.
lyrics
It Ain't Easy
Could it be the confinement?
Will there be a resolve?
Can I borrow some meaning and make it my own?
Will you wait for an answer?
Will you wait for a call?
Will you wait till you've wasted your breath trying to break down the wall?
Can't you feel that it's changing?
Take a chance while the goings good
Never felt like it s'pose to
Didn't like it should
I don't know where I'm going
You don't know who I am
But I'll keep my head down, stick to the plan
But oh man, it ain't easy
Can't you feel that it's changing?
Take a chance while the goings good
Never felt like it s'pose to
Didn't like it should
Take a little walk in the evening
Run away with the afternoon
Stand up with the morning, but it rises too soon
I don't know where I'm going
You don't know who I am
But I'll keep my head down, stick to the plan
I wonder if you see me
I think I lost myself
But I'll keep my head down, stick to the plan
But oh man, it ain't easy
