lyrics

Hard If You Try

Slow down
Don’t complicate
What’s really very simple
There’s no need
To mix things up
No need to scribble on
This pretty picture

Slow down
Don’t label this
Just leave it undefined
There’s no need
To make it fit
Dig too deep and you might
Find it undermined

Don’t overthink it
To understand it
You’ve got to feel it inside

Don’t analyze it
You’ll just un-surprise it
It’s only hard
If you try
So let go of your mind
It’s easy if
You don’t try

Slow down
Don’t emphasize
What really doesn’t matter
There’s no need
To fill the room upstairs
With all that clutter

Don’t overthink it
To understand it
You’ve got to feel it inside

Don’t analyze it
You’ll just un-surprise it
It’s only hard
If you try
So let go of your mind
It’s easy if
You don’t try

It’s easy if
You don’t try

It’s easy if
You don’t try

This is a partial musical record of that journey. ... more
