Hardway
Hardway

Now, I've been high and I've been low
I've been some places that you will not go
I never thought there would come the day
When I wished I never would've lived this way

But I've been searching for a long, long time
I thought the devil was a friend of mine
I turned my back on everything that was true
I wasted years that belonged to You

Some people gotta learn the hardway
And I guess I'm the kind of guy
Who has to find out for myself
Had to learn the hardway, Father
I'm on my knees and I'm crying, crying

It took so long for me to see
That I'm a victim of the nature and me
I never thought there would come the day
When I wished I never would've lived this way

But you accept me every time and again
You never mention, how selfish I've been
Why must it always take me so long to see
That I have fallen but you will forgive?

Some people gotta learn the hardway
And I guess I'm the kind of guy
Who has to find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway, Father
I'm on my knees and I'm crying, I'm crying, for Your help

I need Your help
I need Your help
I need Your help

Some people gotta learn the hardway

Ya, the warning signs are like flares in my night
Still I proceed my greed is in spite of the fire
I know that's bound to burn
Why is it that I always gotta learn, learn the hardway, the hardway?
I got to learn the hardway

Some people gotta learn the hardway
And I guess I'm the kinda guy
That has to find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway
I'm on my knees and I'm crying

Some people gotta learn the hardway
And I guess I'm the kinda guy
That has to find out for myself
Had to learn the hardway, Father
I'm on my knees and I've got to find out for myself
Hardway, hardway

Some people gotta learn
I'm gonna find out
Hardway, hardway

I need Your help
I'm gonna find out
Hardway, hardway

I need Your help
Some people gotta learn
Hardway, hardway

I need Your help
I'm gonna find out for myself
Hardway, hardway
