No discipline seems pleasant at the time but painful
No discipline seems pleasant at the time but painful
No discipline seems pleasant at the time but painful
No discipline seems pleasant at the time but painful

Later on however it produces
A harvest of righteousness and peace
For those who have been trained by it

Later on however it produces
A harvest of righteousness and peace
For those who have been trained by it
No discipline seems pleasant at the time
Pleasant at the time but painful

[Interlude: Robert McFerrin Sr.]
Bring up your feeble arms
Bring up your weaked knees
Fix your mind on things above, above where he is king
Above where he is king
Bring up your feeble arms
Bring up your weaked knees
Set your heart on things above, above where we will be
Above where we will be

Later on however it produces
A harvest of righteousness and peace
For those who have been trained by it
No discipline seems pleasant at the time
Pleasant at the time but painful

[Interlude: Robert McFerrin Sr.]
Make level paths for your feet
Make level paths for your feet
Straighten out your feeble mind
So he can make it heal, for you can make it heal
Straighten up your feeble arms
Straighten up your weaked knees
Fix your mind on things above
Above where we are free
Above where we will be

No discipline seems pleasant at the time but painful
No discipline seems pleasant at the time but painful
No discipline seems pleasant at the time but painful
