Hard Times

(album: Somewhere Down The Road - 2010)

I smile when I remember
All the things we did
The worlds we discovered when I was a kid
Sitting on your shoulders
I was riding high
All of life before me
I could see for miles
You gave me a life to love
And showed me the dreams I was dreaming of
Told me love was enough

[Chorus:]
When hard times come
Hard times come
Hard times come for everyone
Hard times come
Hard times come
And they'll come till we're done

Lately I've been standing
On my own two feet
There's a pair of watchful eyes
Staring up at me
I will turn them toward the sunrise
Turn them toward the stars
Where the beauty of a new day will always fill the heart
And give you a life to love
And show you the dreams you're dreaming of
Just let love be enough

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
How can you measure what you're made of?
How can you galvanize the love?

Cuz hard times come
They come
Hard times come to everyone
Hard times come
Hard times come
And they'll come till we're done
