SONGS YOU WONT HEAR ON AMERICAN IDOL

Old men crying, young men dying

World still turns as Father Time looks on

On and on

Children playing, dreamers praying

Laughter turns to tear as love has gone

Has it gone?

Oh, it's a hard road

Oh, it's a hard road

Whirlwind churning, lovers learning

On this path of life we can't back down

Is it wrong?

Widows weeping, babies sleeping

Life becomes the singer and the song

Sing along

Oh, it's a hard road

Carry your own load

Why make the hard road?

Why can't we be friends?

No need to hurry

We'll meet in the end

Why make the hard road?

Why can't we be friends?

No need to worry

Let's sing it again

Brother's sharing, mother's caring

Nightime falling victim to the dawn

Shadows small

Days are crawling, time is calling

To the Earth another life is gone

Love line drawn

Oh, it's a hard road
Carry your own load

Oh, it's a hard road

Oh, it's a hard road...

Forget all your sorrow, don't live in the past

And look to the future, `cause life goes too fast,
 you know

Forget all your sorrow, don't live in the past

And look to the future, `cause life goes too fast,
 you know

Forget all your sorrow, don't live in the past

And look to the future, `cause life goes too fast,
 you know...

I’m posting this mostly because it hardly sounds like Black Sabbath.
It is on one of their later albums, an album I didn’t really care for, even after being a HUGE Sabbath fan when I was in my teens. It severely lacks those wickedly strange riffs, and musical theme changes  typically done by Sabbath.


But I found this live version, and it sounds better than the album version, which had a bunch of orchestration included in it. It was the only song I liked on the album at the time, but I do like this live version better.

I like it a lot, I just can’t stop listening to it and humming it as I drive home in the afternoon.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that even if you don’t like Black Sabbath, and don’t care for Ozzy, that you might still like this just the same.
Because to me, it sounds like a pop song.
Just because you won’t likely hear it on American idol, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be there.
