The Right Thing Is Hard To Do - Lightning Bug

As a child, I used to hide

In the nooks of playground slides

And time…

Time was on my side

Then the years went by and I

Found different ways to hide

I learned how to lie

And keep the things I felt inside

The right thing is hard to do

When you’ve got so much to lose

Still in fear, it’s hard to move

When you’ve got so much to prove

Doubt

Ebbs and flows

Well, I’ll let it flow.

So they say they’ll build a wall

Of steel that rises grim and tall

And turn away those

Seeking shelter most of all

Fires burn and the waters rise

As we turn from what we know is right

And time…

Is time still on our side?

The hard thing is right to do

When we’ve got so much to lose

And closer to the root I see

When I look past the fallen leaves

Love steady grows

So I’ll let it grow, grow and grow

So I’ll let it grow…
