All of my life they said be quiet
Be quiet for cryin' out loud
Takin' the easy way
Isn't an easy way

Even a fool when he is silent
People will think he's wise
Takin' the easy way
Isn't an easy way

In your footprints this is what I read
Tell the children tell them what I said
Tell all nations tell them I'm not dead
My yoke is easy yes my burden's light
My yoke is easy and my burden's light

I might be taken by my sadness
And still be filled with joy
Takin' the easy way
Isn't an easy way

Hope of the hopeless I have taken
To sing my silent song
Takin' the easy way
Isn't an easy way
My heart is bursting, bursting with Your words
I will tell them, tell them what I've heard
So the brokenhearted will be cured
For there is healing, healing in Your wings
Yes there is healing, healing in Your wings

So I take You into my weakness
I'm weak but You are strong
Takin' the easy way
Isn't an easy way

Learning of You has made me give up
Give up all that I am
Takin' the easy way
Isn't an easy way

Transformation in every word
Relocation hell to heavenward
Education says that you're absurd
Takin' the narrow road isn't an easy way
Takin' the narrow road isn't an easy way
Takin' the easy way isn't an easy way
