Hard To Build. Easy To Break

Hard to build. Easy to break
Cradle it in your arms
Ooh for your children's sake
Hard to build. Easy to break
One little slip, that's one big mistake

All the future Kings and all the future Queens
Standing, impatient, in a row
All the future Kings and all the future Queens
Looking like the heroes of their show

Hard to build. Easy to break
Cradle it in your arms
Ooh for goodness sake

Love the things you do not know
Eat the things you do
Hard to build. Easy to break
Hold it....not so tight
Oooh that's a big mistake

Hard to build. Easy to break
Cradle it in your arms
Ooh for their childrens sake

Love the things you do not know
Eat the things you do
Then lick the spoon that stirs your pot
And eat the pudding too
Tend the flame that lit your way
Stop worshiping the ash
Sweep up all those broken things
And throw them all, in the trash
Hard to build. Easy to break
Hold it nice and tight
Softly now...ooh it's awake
Hard to build. Easy to break
Take that poison from your head
Now give it one good shake
Hard to build. Easy to break
Hard to build. Easy to break
