Hard Times
Rising Above: Jack Adkins' Anthem on Perseverance and Unity
Lyrics
Hard times not over yet
Challenging times persist
Next month next year I'll take that bet
The challenges will likely continue into the future
Hang in don't bail out
Stay resilient, don’t give up
Get rid of that doubt
Overcome uncertainties
You can do it climb and fall
Face difficulties, experience setbacks
Do it again no fall at all
Keep trying, learning from past mistakes
Some say life's not that way
Some people believe life isn’t easy
Step in my shoes walk my day
Understand my perspective by living through my experiences
Hard times good times
Difficult and easier times
Work together you and me
Cooperate in challenging situations
Rise up make it fly
Overcome challenges and make progress
This is how it's got to be
Emphasizing the necessary way to handle situations
Change is here more a comin
Change is ongoing, more changes are approaching
Step up engines a hummin
Get ready, things are getting active
Give up this to give that
Give up unnecessary things to achieve goals
Come on trim the fat
Remove excess, streamline
Hard times good times
Reiteration of difficult and easier times
Work together you and me
Collaborate in facing challenges
Rise up make it fly
Overcome obstacles and succeed
This is how we've got to be
Stressing the necessary approach for collective success
Work helps you learn
Work experience helps in gaining knowledge
And what you'll earn
Effort leads to rewards
Think and decide
Reflect and make choices wisely
No place to hide
There’s no avoiding facing challenges
Hard times good times
Continuation of the theme of difficult and easier times
Work together you and me
Cooperation is essential for progress
Rise up make it fly
Overcome challenges and achieve success
This is how it's got to be
Emphasizing the necessary approach for collective success, reiteration
