The Hardest Day

(album: Catch Me If You Can - 2012)

John Wayne said
Courage is when you're scared to death
But you saddle up anyway
You saddle up anyway

That's how you lived
Like a mustang running wild
Straight through your pain
You would say

I could let it swallow me
I could let it take me down
I could let it run my dreams
Into the ground
But because of you
There's nothing I can't face
Even on my hardest day
Even on my hardest day

By your bed
I learned the truth of life and death
And what it meant to be brave
Oh, what it meant to be brave

So I'm gonna live
Like a fire raging in the RAIN
Moving through the pain, unafraid

I won't let it swallow me
I won't let it take me down
I won't let it run my dreams
Into the ground
All because of you
There's nothing I can't face
Even on my hardest day

I'll find the words when I can't speak
I'll find my song when I can't sing
I'll run the race, run the race when I can't move

So because of you, all because of you

I won't let it swallow me
I won't let it take me down
I won't let it run my dreams
Into the ground
All because of you
There's nothing I can't face
Even on my hardest day
Even on my hardest day
Even on my hardest day

Courage is when you're scared to death
But you saddle up anyway
