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 In 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've met It's a hard life We just gotta learn to understand That we'll be alright If we lend everybody here a helping hand 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 About 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 Till we're on the same side It's a hard life We 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 gotta 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 When will it ever end? Just to begin again It's such a hard life (It's such a hard life) When will it ever end? Just to begin again It's such a hard life (It's such a hard life) When will it ever end Just to begin again? It's such a hard life (It's such a hard life) It's such a hard life It's such a hard life H-a-r-d l-i-f-e
