        Bm7                      Gmaj7It’s so easy to lose the burden——take our eyes of the fields
Bm7                       Gmaj7Settle into apathy and forget what the harvest yields
        C#m7                    (C#m7)It’s so easy to think we’re finished with our labor for awhile
                      (C#m7)                       N.C.Kick back and let somebody else go the extra mile

Bm                                 Gmaj7Don’t get involved with strangers——don’t get involved with strife
        Amaj7It’s so easy to save your own life——resting on what you’ve done
