Home Recording Made Easy

Hate is easy when you’re hurting
It comes on you like the plague
It makes you shout at all your loved ones
Words you never meant to say
And love is harder when it’s one way
And to yourself you’re forced to lie
‘Cos when someone crosses your heart, yeah
You try hard not to hope to die
I don’t claim to have the answers
I can only say what I know is right
All I ask is you sleep on it
Love the world another night
Love for one more night
The best things in life all have an ending
Know that before you even start
But finding things that really last, son
It’s hard, but therein lies the art
And things that last, they’re kinda scarce now
In the world in which we live
Where the emptiness from endless taking
Dissolves the moment that you give
So fall away into your slumber
Where everything is what it seems
Wide awake, a pinch can hurt you
Close your eyes and dream
Why do you try so hard to find the cause of life
You’re just a child
Son when you do, will you find peace?
There are some things I can teach you
Others are lessons learnt alone
But at the times that I can’t reach you
Know that you’ll always have a home
You were born with the potential
To make the world a better place
The scars of war and broken lovers
Have yet to mark upon your face
So let my song carry you skywards
And leave the nightmare far beneath
Can you see your future spread before you?
Close your eyes and dream
