The Hardest Word Lyrics

The Hardest Word lyrics

With me in the valley you out on the hill 

 I can just see you if I close my eyes 

 Climbing those mountains I picture you still 

 I see your smile just as I saw the sunrise 

 This land is ancient it's built out of bones 

 At war with each other, the mother, the father 

 The sisters, the brothers, the daughters and sons 

 Be kind to each other, your father, your mother 

  

 On the horizon the eagles are flying 

 And I mean no more than a cloud in the sky 

 I never know if I'm laughing or crying 

 The hardest word is the word goodbye 

 Teach me the old ways I'm ready to learn 

 Be kind to the sister, be kind to the brother 

 The writer, the singer, the poet, the clown 

 Be good to the man and be kind to them all 

 And we are ancient built from bones 

 Make time for the young and make time for the old 

 Be kind to each other oh that's what I know 

 Be kind to the mothers, daughters and sons 

  

 The true and the great and the scared and the small 

 Be kind to each other, be kind to them all 

 Forgive our indignity and we forgive yours 

 As I am the mother, you are the father 

 Entwined in each other, now and forever 

 The fathers of daughters, the mothers of sons 

 Forever and ever and ever as one 

 As we are the fathers, we are the sons 

 And we are the daughters, the mothers and brothers 

 Forever and ever and ever as one
