Hard Life


(Verse 1)
I wake up before the dawn, to a day that’s ever so long,
Workin’ hard just to get by, under that big ol’ sky.
Every penny that I earn, goes to things that we must have,
How to make ends meet, in this life so bittersweet.

(Chorus)
Livin’ a hard life, strugglin’ day by day,
Providin’ for my family, in every single way.
Food on the table, a roof over our heads,
Clothin’ on our backs, through the tears we’ve shed.

(Verse 2)
I work the fields under the sun, ’til the day is done,
Sweat and dirt upon my hands, tryin’ to meet all demands.
The road is tough, nothin’ comes for free,
But I’ll keep on pushin’, for my family and me.

(Chorus)
Livin’ a hard life, strugglin’ day by day,
Providin’ for my family, in every single way.
Food on the table, a roof over our heads,
Clothin’ on our backs, through the tears we’ve shed.

(Bridge)
There’s a strength in my soul, that keeps me whole,
I’ll keep on fightin’, with all my might.
For the ones I love, I’ll rise above,
And keep on walkin’, towards the light.

(Chorus)
Livin’ a hard life, strugglin’ day by day,
Providin’ for my family, in every single way.
Food on the table, a roof over our heads,
Clothin’ on our backs, through the tears we’ve shed.

(Outro)
In this world so tough and cold, we’ll weather every storm,
With love as our shield, we’ll keep each other warm.
Livin’ a hard life, but we’ll make it through,
‘Cause together we’re stronger, just me and you.
