Lyrics of The Serpent Is Kind (Compared to Man) by Hiss Golden Messenger

verse

I turn my face to the waterline
I turn my face far away
This I realize is not the way
Where the dark lies, push it way

chorus

Hard by design
Hard times and just a drop of rain
So let the rain come on
Behind, behind runs the sun

verse

I put my hand on the red dirt land
I work the land where my father tread
He said, "Don't be afraid when the snake is at hand
The serpent is kind, compared to man"

chorus

Hard by design
Hard times, just a drop of rain
So let the rain come on
Behind, behind runs the sun

verse

The littlest light is the break of day
The littlelest lamp finds a way
All of our friends across the land
Alive in the light and I called her there

chorus

Oh, hard by design
Hard times, just a drop of rain
So let the rain come on
Outside, outside comes the sun

chorus

Hard by design
Hard times and just a drop of rain
So let the rain come on
Outside, outside runs the sun
Writer(s): Michael Carrington Taylor
