Lyrics
Hard Times
So now her man is leavin?
With the slammin? of a door
Her life and heart are in pieces
Fallin? to the floor
Yet her thoughts go to her children
She wonders how to help them through these real heard times
She lets the light shine through
The broken places in their lives
With the power of her spirit
They?ll find a way to survive
She?s never felt so tired
Yet she finds the strength to help them through these real hard times
Devoted to her children
Their love is her reward
Her life is one of givin?
And her days are long and hard
Every movement is a prayer
To the universe above
She walks softly on the planet
She gives unconditional love
Her thoughts go to her children
They give her the strength to make it through these real hard times
