Never Easy - Alela Diane

From the belly of the abyss

Unfurling like a cat

Stretching, pawing, yawning, stumbling

Into the sun

It’s never been easy

For you and I

No, it’s never been easy

For you and I

I didn’t know how much you loved me

I didn’t know until I had my own little daughter

Oh, my mama, I understand now

That you’ve always loved me more, ooh

It’s never been easy

For you and I

No, it’s never been easy

For you and I

I’ve been told that I arrived to

The cawing of a bird

Crying, yelling, screaming, howling

Into the sun

It’s never been easy

For you and I

No, it’s never been easy

For you and I

It’s never been easy

For you and I

No, it’s never been easy

For you and I
