Easy?

Hey All.  Here are the lyrics to my newest musical project.  It's one of the few remaining songs that I need to finish up before I can begin the quest of recording my first full-length album.

The song is simple on the surface, yet deals with some very complex problems we all face as members of humanity, churches, etc.  Jesus' statement in Matthew 7:3 has really hit home with me lately, and this is my response.  I hope you all enjoy it, but most of all learn from it.


EASY DOES IT

It's so easy
To see the dust in your eye
To see where you go wrong
To catch a glimpse of how you fail
It's so easy

It's so easy
To toss off the weight of blame
To attribute it to another name
To forget that I'm just the same
It's so easy

Maybe if I took a breather
I could look at myself
But it's not easy

It's so simple
To make claims of righteousness
To excuse myself of my foolishness
While conveniently seeing yours
It's so simple

If I could just look in the mirror
And take a look at myself
Oh, but it's not simple

I'm no different
The only difference is I can defend myself in my head
And I believe it
And it makes sense

I force the mirror to my own face
I'm terrified
And then the whisper
"I never said it would be easy"
