When life gets hard

Where the buildings tower

It’s time to stop

And smell the flowers

When life gets hard

Fading in a crowd

Just say my name

And say it loud

When life gets hard

With the same old routine

It’s time to leave

Behind all you’ve seen

When life gets hard

In the city air

Just say my name

You know that I care

Here life’s still hard

But it tastes so mellow

In a field of green

And blue and red and yellow

Here life’s still hard

But when the sun rises

Feel a new you

Who’s filled with surprises

Here life’s still hard

Surrounded by birds

As their beautiful songs

Long to be heard

Here life’s still hard

When you make it on your own

But it’s a good kind of tough

Building your throne

Life was as hard

There as it is here

But how is your choice

There’s nothing to fear
