Lyrics
When I came in to the soul world
Entering the world of the soul
I didn't come here to stay
Not intending to stay permanently
Well I didn't bring nothing into this soul world
Arriving in the soul world without possessions
And nothing I carry away
Leaving the soul world with nothing
Hard ain't it hard
Expressing the difficulty of life
Ain't it hard, oh lord
Highlighting the challenges and seeking solace from a higher power
To love
Referencing the difficulty in loving
And to be loved
Acknowledging the challenges of both giving and receiving love
Hard ain't it hard
Reiterating the hardships in life
Ain't it hard oh lord
Seeking understanding and comfort from a divine entity
To love and to be loved
Emphasizing the challenges in the reciprocation of love
Look down
Observing a desolate path
At a lonesome road
Describing a lonely road stretching into the distance
Just as far as I can see
Expressing a sense of isolation
Well I didn't have nobody
Being without someone to share troubles with
To tell my troubles to
Lack of companionship to confide in
And noone cherish me
Not experiencing affection from others
Hard oh ain't it hard
Reflecting on the difficulty of life's experiences
Ain't it hard oh lord
Seeking spiritual strength to navigate love's challenges
To love and to be loved
Repeating the acknowledgment of love's hardships
Oh love in the morning
Referencing the fleeting nature of love
And it won't be long
Anticipating a departure in the morning
Just gonna roll out and go
Planning to move forward in life
Well it's gonna carry
Expecting to encounter challenges in the journey ahead
Some old barren ground
Referring to unproductive or barren experiences
And it ain't coming back no more
Emphasizing that certain experiences will not return
