like a fire burning in the kitchen sink

like a choir that can't agree on what to sing

like a wild raging river that just can't find the will

you change your mind a thousand times, deciding to stand still

better to live than to explain

better to write than to have read

better to cope than to complain

better in your hands than in your head

easier done than said

like a dying flower that just don't give a damn

like a higher power nobody cares to understand

like a horse on a merry-go-round spinnin' at a county fair

just runnin' 'round in circles not gettin' anywhere

better to guide than to criticize

better to lead than to be led

better to act than to analyze

better in your hands than in your head

easier done than said

like a tree that don't grow 'cause it's afraid of the sky

like a lamp that doesn't glow and doesn't wonder why

like a cigarette that's burnin' on the side of the road

a little less concern and no telling where you go

better to live than to explain

better to write than to have read

better to cope than to complain

better in your hands than in your head

easier done than said
