[Verse 1]
Is it time for a speech or for silence
Are you calling for peace or defiance
Is this darkening counsel or wisdom
Are we all perpetrators or victims?
[Verse 2]
Is this childlike simple rote history
Is it complex deciphering mystery
Is this blessing or ill gotten wealth
Am I speaking for God or myself?
[Chorus]
Itâs a hard world for a second guess girl
With one hand and another
I try to take it in but it leaves me spinning
Trying to love my sister and brother
[Verse 3]
Is this confidence born of a calling
Is this ego and pride before falling
Are we standing to fight for whatâs right
Are we angry and hopelessly blind?
[Verse 4]
Are we companions of Job or prophets of God
Are we not of this world or just painfully odd
Is it time for free grace or tough love
Or a little of all the above?
[Chorus]
Itâs a hard world for a second guess girl
With one hand and another
I try to take it in but it leaves me spinning
Trying to love my sister and brother
[Bridge]
Sooner or later weâll know more about it
Sooner or later weâll understand why
Weâll understand why
[Verse 5]
Is it time for a speech or for silence
Are you calling for peace or defiance
Is this darkening counsel or wisdom
Are we all perpetrators or victims?
[Final Chorus]
Itâs a hard world for a second guess girl
With one hand and another
I try to take it in and it leaves me spinning
Trying to love my sister and brother
Itâs a hard hard world for a second guess girl
Trying to love my sister, love my brother
