Hard Things

Yeah I'm the first to say I appreciate the shade
But there’s no easy day when there’s so much at stake
I can hear it in the wind, the tide pulling on the waves
But I can see the fear in your eyes tempting you to stay

If love is better than your hardest drink
Then get on in, honey, come with Me
We were never for a life of ease
There’s a steeper cost to know beauty
But I’ve seen your sunburn, girl, and I know
You can do hard things

Love is patient and kind, and I can’t force you to decide
Where you want to be in the days before you die
I got all the time in the world to age this new wine
But I can’t stick around, even if you stay behind

If love is better than your hardest drink
Then get on in, honey, come with Me
We were never for a life of ease
There’s a steeper cost to know beauty
But I’ve seen your sunburn, girl, and I know
You can do hard things

You could lose all your time looking for water for your soul
So lean your ear in, darlin', you’ve gotta listen close
A love worth your life, it’s gonna cost you your home
But you’re the bone of My bone, you’re never gonna be alone

There’s a wider world across the sea
Cross the water, girl
To the world’s last stand with Me
