Lyrics
Trivial Hymn
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Please don't ask me to give up my life
Please don't ask me for a great sacrifice
All I can do, is see your point of view
I was born with a feeble heart
We both knew that from the very start
All I can do, is try to see it through
And this is my trivial hymn for you
I would be Samson but my hair is too short
I would be David but I'm not fond of sport
All I can do is paddle my own canoe
All I can manage is one day a week
And please can I be one of the meek
All I can do is try my best for you
And this is my trivial hymn for you
Holy smoke it's getting higher
There is no smoke without a little fire
Somebody spoke, says you're a liar But I'm a tryer
