Hard Work Pay

there’s a man cryin' on the corner
there’s a man yellin’ in the park
there’s a lucky man finding thousands of lights in the dark
there’s a mama, she’s sick man
she’s tryin’ her best
tryin’ each day to see the light
some days get hard
some days you feel scared
some days you don’t have strength to fight
some you feel so broken
so unlucky that you say
when will all this hard work pay
there are a thousand ways to let go
and a thousand ways to try
to let go of a love, that you should just let die
but ain’t it just like love, ain’t it hard to decide
when to let go and when to fight
I know you still love me babe
I know in my heart
I know that ain’t the reason we grew apart
cause if love were that easy
babe I’d have just said stay
wait til’ all this hard work pays
there are thousands of mornings
thousands of stories to be told
thousands of directions each moment holds
thousands of warnings that life will pass you by
thousands of things you’ll leave unspoken if you don’t begin to try
like when you’re out on the edge with just strength left to say
i believe all this hard work pays
i believe all this hard work pays
yeah i believe all this hard work pays
