Long Hard Road
Journey Through Life's Trials: Long Hard Road
Lyrics
It's a long road to walk here
Expressing the difficulty and challenges of the journey ahead.
It's a long ride to get there
Highlighting the extensive effort required to reach the destination.
It's a long, dusty way to the top
Describing the arduous path to success, using "top" metaphorically.
One foot before the other, it's the only way to go
Encouraging perseverance, emphasizing the incremental nature of progress.
Those boots were made for walking
Referencing iconic footwear, suggesting a purposeful journey.
Why'd they drag so slow
Expressing impatience or frustration with the slow pace of progress.
Life's a vale of heartache, and love's a give and take
Describing life as full of challenges and love as a reciprocal process.
Gotta learn to give to receive
Highlighting the importance of giving to receive in relationships.
I gave away what I didn't have, made a beggar out of me
Reflecting on the consequences of giving more than one possesses.
I'm stuck out on life's highway, where nothing comes for free
Expressing a sense of being stuck or struggling on life's journey.
When will this be over
Expressing a desire for the challenges to end or a difficult phase to conclude.
When can I rest on solid ground
Seeking stability and relief from challenges by reaching solid ground.
When can I close my eyes and finally sleep
Expressing a longing for peace and rest through sleep.
That long, hard road won't defeat
Affirming determination not to be defeated by the hardships of the journey.
Oh, life's a lonely battle, but with friends along the way
Acknowledging life as a challenging journey but emphasizing the value of companionship.
To walk that road beside you, help you come what may
Emphasizing the support of friends in facing life's challenges.
No more to wander lonely, through life's darkened day
Expressing a desire to no longer face life's difficulties alone.
Strengthen and sustain you, no more you'll need to say
Anticipating strength and support from others without needing to ask.
When will this be over
Repeating the desire for an end to challenges or hardships.
When can I rest on solid ground
Reiterating the wish for stability and rest on solid ground.
When can I close my eyes and finally sleep
Repeating the longing for peaceful sleep and relief.
That long, hard road won't defeat
Reaffirming the determination not to be defeated by life's difficulties.
When will this be over
Repeating the desire for challenges to end, emphasizing a sense of persistence.
When can I rest on solid ground
Reiterating the hope for stability and rest on solid ground.
When can I close my eyes and finally sleep
Repeating the wish for peaceful sleep and relief.
That long, hard road won't defeat
Reaffirming the determination not to be defeated by life's challenges.
That long, hard road won't defeat
Concluding with a strong assertion that the difficult journey will not lead to defeat.
