Be Not Too Hard Lyrics - Joan Baez

Be Not Too Hard 

Be not too hard for life is short 

And nothing is given to man. 

Be not too hard when he is sold or bought, 

For he must manage as best he can. 

Be not too hard when he blindly dies 

Fighting for things he does not own. 

Be not too hard when he tells lies 

Or if his heart is sometimes like a stone. 

Be not too hard for soon he'll die, 

Often no wiser than he began. 

Be not too hard for life is short 

And nothing is given to man. 

And nothing is given to man.
