Hard
Embracing Life's Challenges
Lyrics
Sometimes it's hard
Sometimes it's challenging
To find a new metaphor
Difficulty in finding a fresh way to express
To say the same old cliche
Struggling with using the same overused phrases
‘Cause whatever I'm saying
Expressions are not original
Has been said before
Previous sentiments have already been expressed
And it's hard
Continues to be challenging
I could call it a battle
Describing the difficulty as a battle
I could call it a march
Or as a march
I could call it a road long and cold
Or a long and cold road
There's a light in the distance
A distant light symbolizing hope
And He's waiting there for me
Belief in a higher power waiting for support
But it's still hard
Despite hope, challenges persist
Jesus, He told us
Referring to Jesus and his teachings
That it wouldn't be easy
Acknowledging the difficulty, echoing Jesus' words
And boy, don't I know that it's true
Acknowledging the truth of Jesus' statement
‘Cause easy was raising a man from the dead
Contrasting the difficulty with an extraordinary feat
But being humble seems harder to do
Humbling oneself is a greater challenge
And it's hard
Reiterating the ongoing difficulty
To get out of this mess
Struggling to overcome a predicament
And it's hard
Difficulty in admitting faults and seeking forgiveness
To drop my pride and confess
Awareness of religious language and cliches
Though I know all the lingo and all the cliches
Emphasizing the importance of divine control
It means nothing if he's not in control
The essence is lost without divine influence
Jesus came down to save me
Reference to Jesus' purpose of salvation
But what does that mean
Pondering the practical implications of salvation
Does my life really show that I know?
Questioning the reflection of faith in daily life
If it don't change my behavior
If faith doesn't impact behavior, it's ineffective
Then it don't change a thing
Reiterating the ongoing difficulty
And it's hard
The challenge persists
‘Cause when I open my eyes
Confronting personal limitations
And see my own helplessness
Realizing helplessness
It makes all the difference, you see
Recognizing the transformative impact of realization
‘Cause the lingo is lost in the light of his grace
Religious expressions gain depth in the light of grace
The cliches have new meaning to me
Cliches take on new significance
And it's hard
Reiterating the ongoing difficulty
To get out of this mess
Struggling to overcome a predicament
And it's hard
Difficulty in admitting faults and seeking forgiveness
To drop my pride and confess
Awareness of religious language and cliches
Though I know all the lingo and all the cliches
Emphasizing the importance of divine control
It means nothing if he's not in control
The essence is lost without divine influence
There's a light in the distance
Reiteration of the distant hope
And He's waiting there for me
Belief in a higher power waiting for support
There's a light in the distance
Reiteration of the distant hope
And He's waiting there for me
Belief in a higher power waiting for support
But it's still hard
Despite hope, challenges persist
