  • These times will try hard to define me
    And I'll try to hold my head up high
    But I've seen despair here from the inside
    And it's got a one track mind

    And I have this feeling in my gut now
    And I don't know what it is I'll find
    Does anybody ever feel like,
    You're always one step behind?

    Now I'm sitting alone here in my bed
    I'm waiting for an answer I don't know that I'll get
    I cannot stand to look in the mirror
    I'm failing
    I'm telling you these times are hard
    But they will

    And I know there's someone out there somewhere
    Who has it much worse than I do
    But I have a dream inside, a perfect life
    I'd give anything just to work
    It's like I'm only trynna dig my way out
    Of all these thing I can't

    And I am
    Sitting alone here in my bed
    I'm waiting for an answer I don't know that I'll get
    I cannot stand to look in the mirror
    I'm failing
    I'm telling you these times are hard
    But they will pass,
    They will pass
    They will pass
    These times are hard
    But they will

    These times will try hard to define me
    But I will hold my head up high

    Sitting alone here in my bed
    I'm waiting for an answer I don't know that I'll get
    I cannot stand to look in the mirror
    I'm failing
    I'm telling you these times are hard
    But they will pass

    And I know there's a reason
    I just keep hoping it wont be long til I see it
    And maybe if we throw up our hands and believe it!
    I'm telling you these times are hard
    But they will pass
    They will pass
    They will pass
    These times are hard
    But they will pass Writer/s: LIVINGSTONE WORDLEY BROWN, ROY MCKENZIE
