lyrics

It's a hard life
Being almost 25
Working all day and sleeping all night
Every day's the same
Digging more dirt out of my grave
I never thought that things would be this way

You want to fight me?
Well, I'm ready to fight
You've got nothing to hold me down
Oh, no

Think you can beat me?
Well give it your best show
You haven't seen the best of me yet
Oh, no

It's so hard to see
When the path's laid out for me
Turn by turn directions
Step by step

Complacency
Is as easy as falling asleep
But dreams can die
In the blink of an eye

If you asked me just ten years ago
If I'd still be here
The answer simply would be no
But I'm not done
I've lived the hard life
And I sure have seen better days
But surely the sun will shine after the rain
