Tuolumne

When I walk beside her
I am the better man
When I look to leave her
I always stagger back againOnce I built an ivory tower
So I could worship from above
When I climb down to be set free
She took me in againTheres a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard worldWhen she comes to greet me
She is mercy at my feet
And I, I see her inner charm
She just throws it back at meOnce I dug an early grave
To find a better land
She just smiled and laughed at me
And took her rules back againTheres a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard worldOh, theres a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard worldWhen I go to cross that river
She is comfort by my side
When I try to understand
She just opens up her handsTheres a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard worldOnce I stood to lose her
When I saw what I had done
Bowed down and threw away the hours
Of her garden and her sunSo I tried to warn her
I turned to see her weep
Forty days and forty nights
And it's still coming down on meTheres a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard worldOh, theres a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard worldOh, theres a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard worldOh, theres a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard worldTheres a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard worldOh, theres a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard worldTheres a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard worldTheres a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In a big hard worldTheres a big

Beating on the big people
In a big hard world
