1
I know little Billy from the small time town
2
Ma and Pa meant well but they just weren't around
3
But he would learn what little they had taught
4
They told him, Heaven is hard but hell is not
5
He remembers Papa's words before he died
6
He said, word hard son, you must change the tide
7
Before our people have liberation, you can never rest
8
On your shoulders, lies our future boy, so do your best
9
Do more than your best
10
Never forgot the burden of his father's words
11
He lost his own life and lived the world's
12
No one told Billy there's somethings one man just can't do
13
Takes time to forgive and equality to take more before it's through
14
Just takes time
15
But still Billy went down to the big time town
16
Hoping to find some justice there,
17
But God how it all seems cynical through the eyes of despair
18
He no longer saw in color, he only saw black and white
19
There were never people behind thses faces
20
Until he realized one man can't win
21
Can't win this fight
22
So Billy went back to small time town
23
He got a life and he settled down
24
He teaches children who never really thought
25
He told them, Heaven is hard and Hell is
26
Heaven is hard and hell is
27
Hell is not worth fighting for.
