It's the call of the hills, It's the way of the wind, It's your heavenly smile That's taken me in. Seekers search for the truth, Lovers hide in the night. Some get carried away On an endless flight.
It's a hard life. We just gotta learn to understand That we'll be alright If we lend everybody here a helping hand.
People fight in our wars, On the world where we live It's a heavenly cause Too much to forgive Some get more than they need, Some need more than they get, Others watch while they bleed. Don't remember they met.
It's such a hard life. It's such a hard life. When will it end, Where to begin? We're left alone to learn.
Teachers teach in our schools 'Bout the way we should be. They make all the rules For them it's easy to see. We'll follow our hearts, We'll run with the tide, We'll stay far apart, 'Til we're on the same side.
It's a hard life. We've just gotta learn to understand That we'll be alright If we help everybody here. It's a hard life. We just gotta learn to understand That we'll be alright We just got to lend everybody here a helping hand.
When will it ever end, Just to begin again. It's such a hard life. (It's such a hard life)
