Hard Times

[Intro]

Oh, I know

These are gonna be hard times

These are gonna be hard times

Don't you lose your light

[Verse 1]

Mama, all my friends are dying

And I think I know the reason

There's something everyone's telling them not to be

And you don't have to agree

Please just talk to me

[Chorus]

Oh, I know

These are gonna be hard times

These are gonna be hard times

Don't you lose your light

Stand up tall

Keep on wishing for blue skies

Find the calm in the great white

Don't you lose your light

[Verse 2]

Father, please have mercy

Please stop screaming those words

'Cause you know all they do is just hurt me

You have the power to save

You have the power to wound

The way that you use it is all up to you

[Chorus]

Oh, I know

These are gonna be hard times

These are gonna be hard times

Don't you lose your light

Stand up tall

Keep on wishing for blue skies

Find the calm in the great white

Don't you lose your light

Oh, I know

These are gonna be hard times

These are gonna be hard times

Don't you lose your light

Stand up tall

Keep on wishing for blue skies

Find the calm in the great white

Don't you lose your light

[Outro]

Oh, I know

These are gonna be hard times

These are gonna be hard times

Don't you lose your light
