I smile when I remember all the things we did
The worlds we discovered when
I was a kid
Sitting on your shoulders I was riding high
All of life before me,
I could see for miles
You gave me a life to love
Showed me the dreams I was dreaming of
Told me love was enough

When hard times come
Hard times come
Hard times come for everyone
Hard times come
Hard times come
And they'll come 'till we're done

Lately I've been standing on my own two feet
There's a pair of watchful eyes staring up at me
I will turn them toward the sunrise
Turn them toward the stars
Where the beauty of a new day will always fill the heart
Give you a life to love
Show you dreams you're dreaming of
Just let love be enough
Making you measure what you're made of
Helping you galvanize the love

'Cause hard times come, they come
Hard times come to everyone
Hard times come
Hard times come
And they'll come 'till we're done
