Hard Times

[Intro]
Yeah, it's a long night, and the road gets rough
But we keep on walking, never giving up

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, saw the sun didn't shine
Feeling every burden, heavy on my mind
Bills on the table, hopes running thin
Trying to find my way, but I don't know where to begin

[Pre-Chorus]
Every step I take, feels like a battle lost
But I gotta keep fighting, no matter what the cost
Faces fade away but pain remains the same
Life's a hard river, and I’m caught in the rain

[Chorus]
It's hard, yeah, it's hard, living where I am
Struggling in this shadow, trying to understand
Climbing up the mountains, falling in the valleys
Life ain’t easy, but I gotta keep going

[Verse 2]
Friends come and go, shadows in the night
Dreams fade away, just out of sight
Hearts get broken, spirits get torn
But I plant my hope in a brand new dawn

[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar I wear, tells a story true
Of battles fought and victories few
But I won't stop, I won't give in
This is the fight that I’ve always been in

[Chorus]
It's hard, yeah, it's hard, living where I am
Struggling in this shadow, trying to understand
Climbing up the mountains, falling in the valleys
Life ain’t easy, but I gotta keep going

[Bridge]
Sometimes it feels like the weight's too much to bear
But I hold on, found my strength somewhere
Pain is real but so is my will
This life's a test, but I’m standing still

[Outro]
Yeah, it’s hard, but I’m still here
Facing the storms, confronting fear
Life may be tough, but I won't fall
I’ll keep on fighting, giving it my all
