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
[Chorus:] 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
[Chorus]
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)
