Lyrics
Hard to build. Easy to break.
Cradle it in your arms
ooh for your children's sake.
Hard to build. Easy to break.
One little slip, that's one big mistake.
All the future Kings and all the future Queens
standing, impatient, in a row.
All the future Kings and all the future Queens
looking like the heroes of their show.
Hard to build. Easy to break.
Cradle it in your arms
ooh for goodness sake.
Love the things you do not know.
Eat the things you do.
Hard to build. Easy to break.
Hold it....not so tight,
oooh that's a big mistake.
Hard to build. Easy to break.
Cradle it in your arms
ooh for their childrens sake.
Love the things you do not know
eat the things you do.
Then lick the spoon that stirs your pot
and eat the pudding too.
Tend the flame that lit your way,
stop worshiping the ash.
Sweep up all those broken things
and throw them all, in the trash.
Hard to build. Easy to break.
Hold it nice and tight
softly now...ooh it's awake.
Hard to build. Easy to break
Take that poison from your head
now give it one good shake.
Hard to build. Easy to break.
Hard to build. Easy to break.
