I'm lookin' forward to better times when I won't have to struggle to get by Searchin' for some peace of mind, hard times got me crossin' the line And every difficult day I learn I'm not alone in the struggle to get by
Everybody's got their own fight It's just a fact of life
And I know things don't come easy But I know that I'll get by But I know that things don't come easy But I'll survive
So I'm takin' it as comes I know I've got to stay on my feet I've got to roll with the punches because I see that it's up to me And every day that that I fight temptation I know God is on my side These are the lesson of life And I will get by
And I know things don't come easy But I know that I'll get by I know things don't come easy But I'll survive
And when I think back It gives me strength inside And I won't hold back I take it all in stride I will get by
