Hard Life

(альбом: First Under The Wire - 1979)

It's the call of the hills
It's the way of the wind
It's your heavenly smile
That's taken me in
Seekers search for the truth
Lovers hide in the night
Some get carried away
On an endless flight

[Chorus:]
It's a hard life
We just gotta learn to understand
That we'll be alright
If we lend everybody here a helping hand

People fight in our wars
On the world where we live
It's a heavenly cause
Too much to forgive
Some get more than they need
Some need more than they get
Others watch while they bleed
Don't remember they met

[Chorus]

It's such a hard life
It's such a hard life
When will it end
Where to begin
We're left alone to learn

Teachers teach in our schools
'Bout the way we should be
They make all the rules
For them it's easy to see
We'll follow our hearts
We'll run with the tide
We'll stay far apart
'Til we're on the same side

It's a hard life
We've just gotta learn to understand
That we'll be alright
If we help everybody here
It's a hard life
We just gotta learn to understand
That we'll be alright
We just got to lend everybody here a helping hand

When will it ever end
Just to begin again
It's such a hard life
(It's such a hard life)
