Sometimes life is hard sometimes life is full of sorrow
Hard to face the day let alone tomorrow
Tears may blind your way but you'll see some day
That the light within never fades away
Sometimes life is hard and dreams dissolve before you
Blade of truth so sharp that the pain scores right through
How to take the gift to find pain inside
How to temper a sword let it be your guide
What is light without darkness
What is love without hate
What is joy without saddness
What is life without a mate
Sometimes life is hard and you have no-one to turn to
Never felt so alone all you need's someone to love you
Then as if by chance your life turns around
And the fresh air breaths through a strangers hand
Sometimes life is hard, where's the silver in the lining
In the eye of the storm hope is shining
A little rain must fall then the sun breaks through
When all is lost life surprises you.
