You turn the key then close the door behind you
Drop your bags on the floor
You reach for the light but there's darkness deep inside
And you can't take it anymore

'Cause sometimes living takes the life out of you
And sometimes living is all you can do

Life is hard, the world is cold
We're barely young and then we're old
But every falling tear is always understood
Life is hard, but God is good

You start to cry 'cause you've been strong for so long
And that's not how you feel
You try to pray but there's nothing left to say
So you just quietly kneel

In the silence of all that you face
God will give You His mercy and grace
Jesus never said it was an easy road to travel
He only said that you would never be alone

So when your last thread of hope
Begins to come unraveled
Don't give up, He walks beside you
On this journey home and He knows

Life is hard, the world is cold
We're barely young and then we're old
But every falling tear is always understood
Life is hard, oh life is good but God is good
