Hard Road

[Verse 1

Staring at the ceiling, counting endless nights

Lost in thoughts of what could've been, what's wrong and what's right

Shadows dance on the wall, telling tales of the past

But the future's a mystery, a riddle that's hard to grasp

[Chorus

This is the hard road, I've traveled so far

With scars on my heart, and bruises under my armor

But I'll keep on walking, head held up high

'Cause even in the darkness, I'll find a reason to fly

[Verse 2

The world is a battlefield, where dreams get torn apart

But I'll pick up the pieces, and start with a new heart

With every step I take, I'm learning and growing

Finding strength in the struggle, a seed that's sowing

[Chorus

This is the hard road, I've traveled so far

With scars on my heart, and bruises under my armor

But I'll keep on walking, head held up high

'Cause even in the darkness, I'll find a reason to fly

[Intro instrumental music

[Bridge

There will be days when I stumble, and fall to my knees

But I'll find the courage to rise, and chase the sweet breeze

For in the depths of despair, hope will always remain

A flicker of light, guiding me through the rain

[Chorus

This is the hard road, I've traveled so far

With scars on my heart, and bruises under my armor

But I'll keep on walking, head held up high

'Cause even in the darkness, I'll find a reason to fly

[Outro

(Instrumental build-up with soaring guitar and drums)

I'll keep on walking, keep on trying

'Til the day that I die

This is the hard road, but it's mine

And I'll make it through, one step at a time
