Lyrics to Life Is Hard

You turn the key
Then close the door behind you,
Drop your bags on the floor,
You reach for the light;
But there’s darkness deep inside,
And you can’t take it anymore.

’Cause sometimes living takes the life out of you
And sometimes living is all you can do.
Life is hard, the world is cold
We’re barely young and then we’re old.

But every falling tear is always understood;
Yes, life is hard, but God is good.

You start to cry
’Cause you’ve been strong for so long,
And that’s not how you feel.
You try to pray,
But there’s nothing left to say,
So you just quietly kneel.

In the silence of all that you face,
God will give you His mercy and grace.

Jesus never said
It was an easy road to travel;
He only said that you would never be alone.
So when your last thread of hope
Begins to come unraveled,
Don’t give up, He walks beside you
On this journey home and He knows.

Life is hard, the world is cold.
We’re barely young and then we’re old.
But every falling tear is always understood;
Yes, life is hard, but God is good.
