Hard Way

Old and weathered these mountains

Worn and rounded their shoulders

Smooth under our soles

Become hard like the stone

I watch you steeling yourself

Against the fear

For there's always been something else

That really drives you

We have energy left to burn

We still have it all to come

There's a long list of things for us

In the glowing morning

For the lessons that we've learned

Have all been learned in the hard way

And soon they'll be nothing to deny

The best things are good to touch but never to take hold of

If we can forgive ourselves then we must forgive the others

The seasons will always return when they're ready

Like people will always come round when they're ready

And the lessons that we've learned

Have all been learned in the hard way

And soon they'll be nothing to deny

And the lessons that we've learned

Have all been learned in the hard way

And soon they'll be nothing to deny

And you don't know how the healing works

And you sure don't know how long it takes

Spirit will always find a way

Come back when you're ready

Come back when you're ready

When you're ready
