Another elephant gray sky and it's cold outside
I've been a phantom with no place to hide
Is my fortune searching for the love inside?
Or am I tortured, scorching 'cause I'm burning alive inside
I am small
But light gets in through cracks in these walls
When I see you, I glow
I glow like no one else can know
It's so hard, it's the hardest by far
Hardest way possible
It's the hardest, it's the hardest by far
The hardest way possible
Won't be soon, I can't promise you
But I promise you for good
You won't be trampled underfoot
It's the hardest way to give
It's the hardest way to take
It's the hardest way to live for Christ sake
So hard but God heal these scars
Take bleeding hearts out of bars
That drown away the hours drown away the hours
Getting to the bottom of it fast
Swimming damn near the bottom of the glass
It's so hard, it's the hardest by far
Hardest way possible
It's the hardest, it's the hardest by far
The hardest way possible
You can't and you and you stop
When every rung of the ladder is farther to drop
What is at stake now? What is not?
And what is not?
It's so hard, it's the hardest by far
Hardest way possible
It's the hardest, it's the hardest by far
The hardest way possible
It's the hardest way possible
It's so hard
