The Hard Way

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Sunrise paints the eastern sky, another day begins to bloom
But in your heart, a weary sigh, hangs heavy in your silent room
The road you walk is rough and steep, with stones that bruise and winds that bite
And promises you couldn't keep, still echo in the fading light

(Chorus)
But keep on walking, don't you stray, though shadows dance and doubts may call
There's strength you haven't used today, to rise above it all
This heavy burden that you bear, it doesn't have the final say
So lift your chin and breathe the air, and find your courage on the way

(Verse 2)
You've stumbled hard and felt the sting, of bitter words and judging eyes
Felt hope take flight on broken wing, beneath unforgiving skies
The whispers say you won't succeed, that you should turn and just give in
But there's a fire, a planted seed, a resilience deep within

(Chorus)
So keep on walking, don't you stray, though shadows dance and doubts may call
There's strength you haven't used today, to rise above it all
This heavy burden that you bear, it doesn't have the final say
So lift your chin and breathe the air, and find your courage on the way

(Bridge)
The darkest night will fade at last, the storm will break and lose its hold
The lessons learned, though shadows cast, are worth more than their weight in gold
So gather fragments of your will, let kindness be your guiding star
And know that standing strong and still, is who you truly are

(Chorus)
So keep on walking, don't you stray, though shadows dance and doubts may call
There's strength you haven't used today, to rise above it all
This heavy burden that you bear, it doesn't have the final say
So lift your chin and breathe the air, and find your courage on the way

(Outro)
Keep walking on, keep walking on, until the brighter dawn appears
Keep walking on, until the song, that's in your heart, dispels your fears.
