It's hard...to keep an even temper   It's hard...to just walk on by   It's hard...sometimes to remember   that it's easier to pick a fight      Chorus:   Even though trials and tribulations   Got me on the tips of my toes   If I'm gonna keep the peace I've found   I got to keep my feet upon the ground      It's hard...when there's no understanding   It's hard...when other's try to control   It's bad...to have to beg for mercy   but it's good at the end of the road   Chorus      It's wrong...when you argue over nothing   It's wrong...to leave hurt unrepaired   It's wrong...but I've been wrong before   but it's right to show her that I care   Chorus
