Be Hard on Yourself, I: The Tear in the Big Picture Songtext
von Marillion

Big ball of rocks and water
Spinning round in space
Blue green and made of magic

Miracles on miracles
On miracles with miracles inside
Why would you kill it?

Be hard on yourself
You′ve been spoilt for years
Be hard on yourself
You'll be glad you did, you′ll be glad you did

Something to pull the sheep across the field
Bag of grass and straw
How can it keep growing?
How can it keep growing?


Be hard on yourself
You've been spoilt for years
Be hard on yourself
You'll be glad you did, you′ll be glad you did

Run towards the things that scare you, I dare you
There′s a tear in the big picture
Can't burn it, got to fix it

I heard you say life′s what you settle for
Nobody told you
Less can be more

Strap in, get ready
Foot down
Push the button, blow it all up
And be hard on yourself

Strap in, get ready
Foot down
Push the button, blow it all up
And be hard on yourself
