Hard Way
Lessons in Resilience: Embracing Life's Trials
Lyrics
Old and weathered these mountains
These mountains have aged and endured various conditions.
Worn and rounded their shoulders
They show signs of wear and have curved outlines.
Smooth under our soles
They feel smooth beneath our feet.
Become hard like the stone
Over time, they've hardened like stone.
I watch you steeling yourself against the fear
Observing someone preparing themselves to face fear.
For there’s always been something else that really drives you
An underlying motivation or force has always driven this person.
We have energy left to burn, we still have it all to come
We still have a lot of energy and experiences ahead of us.
There’s a long list of things for us in the glowing morning
There's a promising list of things awaiting us in the future.
For the lessons that we’ve learned have all been learned in the hard way
All the significant lessons have been learned through difficult experiences.
And soon there’ll be nothing to deny
Soon, there will be no need for denial.
The best things are good to touch but never take hold of
Valuable things are tantalizing but elusive.
If we can forgive ourselves then we must forgive the others
We must forgive both ourselves and others to move forward.
The seasons will always return when they’re ready
Nature's cycles will persist, returning when ready.
Like people will always come round when they’re ready
People will come back into our lives at the right time.
And the lessons that we’ve learned have all been learned in the hard way
All significant teachings have come from challenging experiences.
And soon there’ll be nothing to deny
There will soon be no need for denial or falsehood.
And you don’t know how the healing works
Uncertainty about the process of healing.
And you sure don’t know how long it takes
Unknown duration for healing to take place.
Spirit will always find a way
Indicates the resilience of the spirit, finding a way to recover.
Come back when you’re ready
Return when you feel ready, implying readiness for reconciliation.
Come back when you’re ready
Reiterating the invitation to return when prepared.
