Song Description

Sometimes the tough things in life teach us the most.

Lyrics

It's not easy sittin' still when your backside starts to hurt
Stuck between mom and daddy at Sunday morning church
I can't begin to count the hours I spent in that old pew
It was hard and unforgiving but without it I would be too

Daddy taught me wrong from right with a stern and calloused hand Never once apologized said one day I'd understand
Looking back I can't believe all the hell I put him through
Thought he was hard and unforgiving but without him I would be too

When I got down I learned to look up
And ask for more strength when times got tough
Even I could I wouldn't change a thing
They taught me when to take a stand,
When to let go, be the bigger man
And a kind word doesn't cost a thing
It's amazing what a little grace can bring

Standing strong and tall two others by its side
That blood stained cross held his arms open wide
It wouldn't let him down it had a job to do
It was hard and unforgiving but without it I would be too

That cross was hard and unforgiving but without him I would be too
