A Hard Road  
 
Never Say Die - 1978
     
 
Old men crying, young men dying
World still turns as Father Time looks on 
On and on
Children playing, dreamers praying
Laughter turns to tears love has gone 
Has it gone

Oh, it's a hard road
Oh, it's a hard road

Poets yearning, lovers learning
On this path of life we pass along
Is it wrong
Widows weeping, babies sleeping
Life becomes the singer and the song 
Sing along

Oh, it's a hard road
Carry your own load

Why make the hard road
Why can't we be friends
No need to hurry
We'll meet in the end

Why make the hard road
Why can't we be friends
No need to worry
Let's sing it again

Brother's sharing, mother's caring
Nighttime falling victim to the dawn 
Shadows mourn
Days are crawling, time is calling
To the Earth another life is born
Love line drawn

Oh, it's a hard road
Carry your own load
Oh, it's a hard road
Oh, it's a hard road

We're living in sorrow
Don't live in the past
And look to the future
Cause life goes too fast, you know
