Easier Said Than Done Lyrics. See it clear Sounds of emotion Spreading all o'er the world Bringing peace for a moment Say it's all possible But it's easier said than done. Hold it there Try to imagine Scenes of heaven in motion Singing songs of devotion Say it's all possible But it's easier said than done. Twice as clear Bringers of wisdom Simply trying to touch And to bring you the truth Say it's all possible But it's easier said than done Yeah, yeah

So Three Ships is really an album inspired by Christmas. Day of Days," which like "Easier Said Than Done" would have worked on the island-tinged pop album Song of Seven, is arguably the lone keeper from Three Ships.
