Happiness Is Hard    © 1997 RFRussell

Suffering is easy, anyone can do it
Happiness hard, and sadness runs clear through it
Tempers are easily out of control
Patience is harder ‘cause it takes real soul

    It’s easy, it’s hard
    Both at once, Lord knows
    But at least one thing is clear–
        What you
        Pay attention to
        Grows

Growing is painful, learning is not
You better be careful, you could end up shot
Talk is cheap—flows right from your lips
Truth is the hardest when you’re right in front of it

    It’s easy, it’s hard
    Both at once, Lord knows
    But at least one thing is clear–
        What you
        Pay attention to
        Grows

Ego is easy, for so many here
Humility much harder, but never fear
Playing is easy, it’s working that’s hard
Compassion simple once forgiveness starts
At the end of the day, there is truth and there’s light
This is our chance to refine our sight

    It’s easy, it’s hard
    Both at once, Lord knows
    But at least one thing is clear–
        What you
        Pay attention to
        Grows
