Versuri 03. Easy as Life [Featuring Angelique Kidjo]

This is the moment 
When the Gods expect me 
To beg for help 
But I won't even try 
 
I want nothing in the world 
But myself to protect me 
But I won't lie down 
Roll over and die 
 
All I have to do is 
To forget how much I love him 
All I have to do is 
Put my longing to one side 
 
Tell myself that 
Love's an ever changing situation 
Passion would have cooled 
And all the magic would have died 
 
It's easy, it's easy 
 
Until I think about him 
As he was when I last saw him 
And how he would have been 
Were I to be with him today 
 
Tender in his manner 
And my self-consolation 
All I ever wanted 
And I'm throwing it away 
 
It's easy, easy as life 
 
All I have to do is 
To pretend I never knew him 
On those very rare occasions 
When he steals into my heart 
 
Better to have lost him 
When the ties were barely binding 
Better the contempt 
Of the familiar cannot start 
 
It's easy, it's easy 
 
Until I think about him 
As he was when I last touched him 
And how he would have been 
Were I to be with him today 
 
Those very rare occasions don't let up 
They keep on coming 
All I ever wanted 
And I'm throwing it away 
 
It's easy, it's easy as life 
 
And then I see the faces 
Of a worn defeated people 
A father and a nation 
Who won't let a coward run 
 
Is this how the Gods reward 
The faithful through the ages? 
Forcing us to prove that 
All the hardest things we've done 
 
Are easy, so easy 
 
And though I'll think about him 
Until the earth draws in around me 
And though I choose to leave him 
For another kind of love 
 
This is no denial, no betrayal 
But redemption 
Redeemed in my own eyes 
And in the pantheon above 
 
It's easy, it's easy 
It's easy as life
