When my body won't hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Will I be ready?
When my feet won't walk another mile
And my lips give their last kiss goodbye
Will my hands be steady?
When I lay down my fears
My hopes and my doubts
The rings on my fingers
And the keys to my house
With no hard feelings
When the sun hangs low in the west
And the light in my chest
Won't be kept held at bay any longer
When the jealousy fades away
And it's ash and dust for cash and lust
And it's just hallelujah
And love in thoughts and love in the words
Love in the songs they sing in the church
And no hard feelings
Lord knows they haven't done
Much good for anyone
Kept me afraid and cold
With so much to have and hold
Mmh
When my body won't hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south
Through Georgia grain or tropical rain
Or snow from the heavens?
Will I join with the ocean blue
Or run into the savior true
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night
Straight to the light
Holding the love I've known in my life
And no hard feelings
Lord knows they haven't done
Much good for anyone
Kept me afraid and cold
With so much to have and hold
Under the curving sky
I'm finally learning why
It matters for me and you
To say it and mean it too
For life and its loveliness
And all of its ugliness
Good as it's been to me
I have no enemies
I have no enemies
I have no enemies
I have no enemies
And it finally lets me free
Will I be ready?
When my feet won't walk another mile
And my lips give their last kiss goodbye
Will my hands be steady?
When I lay down my fears
My hopes and my doubts
The rings on my fingers
And the keys to my house
With no hard feelings
When the sun hangs low in the west
And the light in my chest
Won't be kept held at bay any longer
When the jealousy fades away
And it's ash and dust for cash and lust
And it's just hallelujah
And love in thoughts and love in the words
Love in the songs they sing in the church
And no hard feelings
Lord knows they haven't done
Much good for anyone
Kept me afraid and cold
With so much to have and hold
Mmh
When my body won't hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south
Through Georgia grain or tropical rain
Or snow from the heavens?
Will I join with the ocean blue
Or run into the savior true
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night
Straight to the light
Holding the love I've known in my life
And no hard feelings
Lord knows they haven't done
Much good for anyone
Kept me afraid and cold
With so much to have and hold
Under the curving sky
I'm finally learning why
It matters for me and you
To say it and mean it too
For life and its loveliness
And all of its ugliness
Good as it's been to me
I have no enemies
I have no enemies
I have no enemies
I have no enemies

When they finally sang "No Hard Feelings" it brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you guyz!

I listen to it everyday, several times a day, as a reminder for me to not allow situations or people to get to me to the point I am harboring resentment or ill-will, because just as the song says:
" no hard feelings
Lord knows they haven't done
Much good for anyone
Kept me afraid and cold
With so much to have and hold. "
Life can be so sweet and sour simultaneously, but the beauty is we have the power to choose how we taste and experience it. This song reminds me of this choice.
In the end, with its profound lyrics and incredibly beautiful melody, if I had to describe it in one word, the only word that justifies this miracle of a song is--SUBLIME!
Cuando mi cuerpo ya no me va a retener.
Y finalmente me deja libre.
¿Estaré listo?
Cuando mis pies no caminen otra milla
Y mis labios se despiden de su último beso.
¿Mis manos estarán firmes?
Cuando yo dejo mis miedos
Mis esperanzas y mis dudas.
Los anillos en mis dedos
Y las llaves de mi casa
Sin duros sentimientos
Cuando el sol cuelga bajo en el oeste
Y la luz en mi pecho.
No se mantendrá a raya por más tiempo.
Cuando los celos se desvanecen
Y es ceniza y polvo por dinero y lujuria.
Y es solo aleluya.
Y el amor en los pensamientos y el amor en las palabras.
El amor en las canciones que cantan en la iglesia.
Y no hay malos sentimientos.
Dios sabe que no han hecho
Mucho bien para cualquiera
Me mantuvo asustado y frío
Con tanto tener y mantener.
Cuando mi cuerpo ya no me va a retener.
Y finalmente me deja libre.
¿A dónde iré?
¿Los vientos alisios me llevarán al sur?
A través de grano de Georgia o lluvia tropical.
¿O la nieve de los cielos?
¿Me uniré con el océano azul?
O correr al salvador verdadero.
Y estrechar la mano riendo
Y caminar por la noche
Directo a la luz.
Sosteniendo el amor que he conocido en mi vida.
Y no hay malos sentimientos.
Dios sabe que no han hecho
Mucho bien para cualquiera
Me mantuvo asustado y frío
Con tanto tener y mantener.
Bajo el cielo curvo
Finalmente estoy aprendiendo por qué
Importa para mi y para ti
Para decirlo y decirlo también
Por la vida y su encanto.
Y toda su fealdad.
Bueno como ha sido para mi
No tengo enemigos
No tengo enemigos
No tengo enemigos
No tengo enemigos
