No Easy Way Out

No shot of sobriety

Will bury all demons

That demand obedience

In pure self-destruction

And anger and hang-ups

And funky behavior.

No its not happy valley

Or a cheap ticket to heaven.

Plagued with indifference

Can't find the value

Searching for meaning

But we found disappointment

In grinding frustration

While seeking out shelter

Then finding redemption

In the arms of the loved one.

Yeah i've flown on wings of madness,

Sure i've had a fall from grace,

Yeah it's all part of the process.

There ain't no easy way out of this.

There ain't no easy road home.

There ain't no easy way out of this

Without your kiss

And your hand to hold...

No spiritual group-think

Or slacker detachment

Or 12-step jesus

Or career opportunities

Or natural medicine

Can bring me the comfort

That's found in the arms

Of the one that loves me.

There ain't no simple solution.

There ain't no miracle cure.

There ain't no easy way out of this

Without your kiss

And your tenderness...
