When I walk beside her I am a better man When I look to leave her I always stagger back again Once I built an ivory tower So I could worship from above And when I climbed down to be set free She took me in again There's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people In the big hard world When she comes to greet me She is mercy at my feet When I stay to pillage her She just throws it back at me Once I dug an early grave To find a better land She just smiled and laughed at me And took her blues back again There's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people In the big hard world There's a big, a big hard sun Beatin' on the big people In the big hard world And when I go to cross that river She is comfort by my side When I try to understand She just opens up her eyes There's a big, a big hard sun (There's a big, big hard sun) Beatin' on the big people (On the people) In the big hard world (Hard world, yes it is) Once I stood to lose her When I saw what I had done Burned down and threw away the hours Of her garden and her sun So I tried to warn her And turned to see her weep Forty days and forty nights And it's still coming down on me (oh, yes it is) There's a big, a big hard sun (There's a big, big hard sun) Beatin' on the big people In the big hard world There's a big, a big hard sun (Big hard sun) Beatin' on the big people In the big hard world There's a big, a big hard sun (There's a big) Beatin' on the big people (On the people) In the big hard world There's a big, a big hard sun (There's a big, big hard sun) Beatin' on the big people In the big hard world There's a big, a big hard sun (Hard world, hard world) Beatin' on the big people (On the big people) In the big hard world There's a big, a big hard sun (There's a big, big hard sun) Beatin' on the big people In the big hard world
