Another elephant grey sky and it's cold outside
I've been a phantom with no place to hide
Is my fortune searching for the love inside?
Or am I tortured, scorching 'cause I'm burning alive
Inside
I am small, but light gets in through cracks in these walls
When I see you, I glow
I glow like no one else can know

It's so hard It's the hardest by far
Hardest way possible
It's the hardest It's the hardest by far
The hardest way possible

Won't be soon, I can't promise you,
But I promise you for good
you won't be trampled underfoot
It's the hardest way to give,
It's the hardest way to take,
It's the hardest way to live for Christ sake
So hard, but God heal these scars
Take bleeding hearts out of bars
That drown away the hours drown away the hours
Getting to the bottom of it fast
Swimming damn near the bottom of the glass

It's so hard It's the hardest by far
Hardest way possible
It's the hardest It's the hardest by far
The hardest way possible

You can't and you and you stop
When every rung of the ladder is farther to drop
What is at stake now? What is not?
And what is not

It's so hard It's the hardest by far
Hardest way possible
It's the hardest It's the hardest by far
The hardest way possible

It's the hardest way possible
It's so hard
