Through the hard times
People say, 'You gotta be strong'
Through these hard times
People say, 'You gotta keep going on'

Through the hard times
People try and kick you when you're down
Through these hard times
Don't it always seem like

There's never anyone around
To help you when you're strung out?
Through these hard times
When you're falling out

No one seems to care
Through these hard times
They just run you down
Tell you that life isn't fair, no

Through these hard times
So through the hard times, let me know
Through these hard times
That I'm not alone

Through these hard times
'Cause right now I need you more
I need you more,
Than I ever did before

Through these hard times
People see what it's like for the poor
Through these hard times
People really find out what it's like to be ignored

Through these hard times
People just don't seem to give a damn, oh no
Through these hard times
It really feels like no one understands

Through these hard times
So through the hard times, let me know
Through these hard times
That I'm not alone

Through these hard times
'Cause right now I need you more
I need you more
Than I ever did before

Through these hard times
Ain't it funny how no one seems to care?
Through these hard times, they just run you down
Tell you that life isn't fair

Oh, through the hard times, please let me know
Through the hard times, I'm not alone
Through the hard times
Through the hard times, let me know

Through these hard times
That I'm not alone
Through these hard times
'Cause right now I need you more

I need you more than I ever did before
Oh, than I ever did before
Right now I need you more
Than I ever did before
