Harder Before It Gets Easier
David Wax Museum

You've been sobbing so hard you can barely breath

You've been stitching your heart on the outside of your sleeve

You've been wrung out and then doused with grief

In the ocean of time this moment will be brief


Oh I know it's going to get harder before it gets easier


Knock, knock, fate was at the door

Knock, knock, too loud to ignore

Knock, knock, we were unprepared

Knock, knock, fate it does not care


The muddled position of our hearts will shift

Someday this burden of loving will lift


And the difference between wrong and right will close like a fist

But for now judgments passed on us will be swift


Oh I know it's going to get harder before it gets easier


A baby is born in a mud hut

With a worm fastened to his gut

Yes, most doors open briefly and then they are shut

The circle of life is a wheel that gets stuck in a rut


Oh I know it's going to get harder before it gets easier
