No Stranger to the Blues

Lyrics

  The Cost Of Living                                  L. Kaplan/M.Shaw

Count the tears that we all cry
Count the cost to civilize
Count the years and widowed wives
Count the cost in soldiers lives
It's the cost of living in a not-so-perfect world

Know the loss and bittersweet
Know that we all need to eat
Know the price of sovereignty
Know the price of human greed
It's the cost of living
It's the cost of living in a not-so-perfect world

bridge;

(well) There's no easy answer where freedom flies
We hear the laughter we hear the cries
We feel the pressure of compromise
We taste the truth and yet we eat the lies

Time will pass and wounds may heal
Scars are left a soul to deal
Prayer the lord your soul to keep
Pray forgiveness Pray for peace
It's the cost of living
It's the cost of living in a not-so-perfect world
