(It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)
(It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy

Forget about the past, and all your sorrow
The future won't last
It will soon be your tomorrow

Don't ask for much, I only want for trust
And you know, it don't come easy
Love of mine keeps growin' all the time
And you know it don't come easy

Open up your heart, come together
Living your luck, and y'all ought to do the game better

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy

Please remember, peace is how we make it
Here within your reach, if you're big enough to take it

Don't ask for much, I only want for trust
And you know, it don't come easy
Love of mine keeps growin' all the time
And you know it don't come easy
