The simplest things can be the hardest to do
Mavis Staples is such a truth-singer!
LOVE AND TRUST Written by Ben Harper The simplest things can be the hardest to do Can't find what you're looking for even when it's looking for you The judge and the criminal, the sinner and the priest Got something in common, bring 'em all to their knees Do what you can, do what you must Everybody's crying to find some love and trust I walk the line, I walk it for us See me out here tryin' to find some love and trust Lust ain't nothing but stealing from a thief Storm after storm leave you shaking like a leaf They say broken hearts make the world go around Trading headaches for heartaches, wanna get you down Give it some time, don't try to rush When you're trying to find yourself some love and trust Do what you can, might not be enough When you're trying to find yourself some love and trust Like a horse in a race who don't wanna run Like an executioner who won't fire his gun Like a boxer who won't take a swing Just like a prince who don't wanna be king Haven't we suffered, suffered enough Now we're out here tryin' to find some love and trust Do what you can, do what you must Everybody's trying to find some love and trust . . .
