"It's Not Easy" lyrics
IT’S NOT EASY
It’s evening time on a Friday
I’m sitting alone in my house
This week didn’t have a payday
This week didn’t have any work
I’ll look in the fridge for some bread now
And check the date on the milk
And every week I renew my vow
To smile and do my best
But sometimes it’s not easy
Sometimes it’s a little hard
To keep on rising everyday
To keep on trying, trying to get work
In the daytime sometimes I’m a prisoner
With no money to pay my way out
In the daytime sometimes I’m lonely
With no friends to have around
I’ll look in the jar in the hallway
There might be a few coins that I saved
And every penny is a precious one
Every penny might save my life
Words & music by Tony Floyd Kenna
About my song
Life in the current recession, trying to keep smiling and keep positive while handling the realities of life. I actually see it as a ‘feel good song’. Things will get better. This version is my demo for the band, so the final one will have much better singing and nice playing. But even as it is I believe it relates the essence and feel of the song quite nicely. Love to hear someone good singing it! (apart from the band of course!)
Great Good intentions version with John O’grady singing now available on new CD ‘Sacred Ground’ and Itunes
