Give It a Rest

Give it a rest Don't try to make it happen Did you forget? You gotta kick the habit You can't remake the world according to your will Oh, blessed boy Our golden child of promise We have enjoyed the light you've shed upon us Let us attend unto that frail and weary flame The weight of all the earth Was never yours to bear I guess we live and learn Where can we be, but here? Shimmering jewel Your mother's crowning glory Son of a fool You chose another story A family made out of more than flesh and bone I know you're tired It is a labored living Much is required of whom too much is given Don't leave us here We need you now, just as before I wanna hear you sing again At the top of your lungs as we hit the interstate Just like it's sunny with a high of 75 A glory that never fades I know it's harder than we ever imagined But brother bear, we are on the way I wanna hear you sing again at the top of your lungs Not a note out of place Give it a rest Don't try to make it happen Did you forget? You gotta kick the habit You can't remake the world
