"Give It A Rest" lyrics

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 to much is given
Don't leave us here
We need you now just as before

I want to 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 want to 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
