Lyrics
It don’t come easy
You know it don’t come easy
It don’t come easy
You know it don’t come easy
Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don’t come easy
You don’t have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Forget about the past and all your sorrows
The future won’t last, it will soon be your tomorrow
I don’t ask for much, I only want trust
And you know it don’t come easy
And this love of mine keeps growin’ all the time
And you know it just ain’t easy
Open up your heart, let’s come together
Use a little love and we will make it work out better
Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don’t come easy
You don’t have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Please, remember peace is how we make it
Here within your reach if you’re big enough to take it
I don’t ask for much, I only want trust
And you know it don’t come easy
And this love of mine keeps growin’ all the time
And you know it don’t come easy
