Lyrics
My friend once thought he lost
The one he loved the most
He fell down on the ground
Cried that his life was over.
But then he saw a sign
Knew he had to carry on
The darkness fell away
And soon it would be dawn.
CHORUS
The hard times they come
But the hard times, they go
Nothing is forever
But the winds that blow
We don’t always see the need
Even if we want
Every sickness ain’t a death
Every goodbye don’t mean gone.
Rita was a showgirl
She really laid ‘em low
She started to hear voices
Her fear began to grow.
But sometimes those words
Would get her through the night
They could make her laugh
Give her comfort when she cried.
CHORUS
REFRAIN
We always fear the worst
When we don’t know what to do
We always fear the worst
When we don’t know what to do
Nothing ever lasts
All our troubles will pass
What looks dark today
Will soon fade away.
INSTR.
A man I know once said
That life is always hard
It’s just the way things go
We can break and fall apart
But we always have a choice
About how we respond
The road to hell is short
The road to hope is long.
CHORUS
Repeat last two lines to fade out
