[Intro]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Da da da, da da da da
Ah da da da do do do
[Verse 1]
Day dreaming at a bus stop
Zonin' out when it hit me (Hit me)
We're all marchin' to the same beat
But no one knows where we're going
It's hard for me to keep up
Wearin' shoes that don't fit me, fit me
So, I'm gonna kick them off
And put on a pair of my own
[Pre-Chorus]
The path of least resistance
Is easy, too easy
Like roasted versus instant
Under pressure, we become refined
[Chorus]
I'm takin' the hard road
As long as it's my own
I'm takin' the hard road
Each rock is a stepping stone
I'm takin' the hard road
With all of its highs and lows
And whatever rocks life throws
Each rock is a stepping stone
(Oh, oh, step, step, oh oh, step, step)
[Verse 2]
One foot in front the other
The scenery not so pretty (Pretty)
Don't wanna shut it out
I'm living and I'm growin'
Ain't lookin' for a shortcut
'Cause every time they short change me, change me
I won't sidestep the problems
'Cause I'm learning how to use them, so
[Chorus]
I'm takin' the hard road
As long as it's my own (Long as it's my own)
I'm takin' the hard road
Each rock is a stepping stone
(I'm takin') I'm takin' the hard road
With all of its highs and lows
And whatever rocks life throws
Each rock is a stepping stone
I'm takin' the hard road (I'm takin' the hard road)
As long as it's my own (Long as it's my own)
And whatever rocks life throws
Each rock is a stepping stone
[Bridge]
Like when you broke my heart
You loved me then, you loved me not
Pickin' love apart like petals
Like when it's close, but no cigar
It's hard to find the guts not to settle
[Pre-Chorus]
The path of least resistance
Is easy, too easy
Coffee roasted versus instant
Under pressure, we become refined
[Chorus]
I'm takin' the hard road
As long as it's my own (As long as it's my own)
I'm takin' the hard road
Each rock is a stepping stone
(I'm takin' the hard road) I'm takin' the hard road
(With all of its ) With all of its highs and lows
And whatever rocks life throws
Each rock is a stepping stone
I'm takin' the hard road (I'm takin' the hard road)
With all its highs and lows
And whatever rocks life throws
Each rock is a stepping stone
I'm takin' the hard road (I'm takin' the hard road)
With all its highs and lows
And whatever rocks life throws
Each rock is a stepping stone (Each rock is a stepping stone)
[Outro]
Ba da, let go, ba da, step, step, ba da
Whatever rocks life throws
I'm takin' the hard road
With all its highs and lows
And whatever life throws
Each rock is a stepping stone
I'm takin' the hard road
With all its highs and lows
And whatever life throws
Each rock is a stepping stone
