Intro: Verse: 1 Be not too hard for life is short And nothing is given to man Be not too hard when he is sold or bought For he must manage as best he can Be not too hard when he blindly dies Fighting for things he does not own Be not too hard when he tells lies Or if his heart is sometimes like a stone Be not too hard for soon he'll die Often no wiser than he began Be not too hard for life is short And nothing is given to man Verse: 2 (same as verse 1 but spoken till line 48) Be not too hard for life is short And nothing is given to man Be not too hard when he is sold or bought For he must manage as best he can Be not too hard when he blindly dies Fighting for things he does not own Be not too hard when he tells lies Or if his heart is sometimes like a stone (start singing again) Be not too hard for soon he'll die Often no wiser than he began Be not too hard for life is short And nothing is given to man Outro And nothing is given to man
