[Verse 1] Old men crying young men dying World still turns as Father Time looks on On and on Children playing dreamers praying Laughter turns to tear as love has gone Has it gone? [Refrain] Oh it’s a hard road Oh it’s a hard road [Verse 2] Whirlwind churning lovers learning On this path of life we can’t back down Is it wrong? Widows weeping babies sleeping Life becomes the singer and the song Sing along [Refrain] Oh it’s a hard road Carry your own load!      [Chorus]      Why make the hard road?      Why can’t we be friends?      No need to hurry      We’ll meet in the end      [Guitar Solo]      [Chorus]      Why make the hard road?      Why can’t we be friends?      No need to hurry      We’ll meet in the end [Verse 3] Brother’s sharing mother’s caring Nighttime falling victim to the dawn Shadows small Days are crawling time is calling To the Earth another life is gone Love line’s drawn [Refrain] Oh it’s a hard road Carry your own load! [Outro] (Oh it’s a hard road) (Oh it’s a hard road) Forget all your sorrow (Oh it’s a hard road) Don’t live in the past And look to the future (Oh it’s a hard road) ’Cause life goes too fast you know Forget all your sorrow (Oh it’s a hard road) Don’t live in the past And look to the future (Oh it’s a hard road) ’Cause life goes too fast you know Forget all your sorrow (Oh it’s a hard road) Don’t live in the past And look to the future (Oh it’s a hard road) ’Cause life goes too fast you know
