A SONG FOR THE TIMES

WHEN TIMES ARE HARD

Once I had a life and it was almost perfect
Thought the happy days would never end
Then things went bad and I lost direction
Thought I’d never find that peace of mind again

Chorus
When times are hard would you stand beside me
When times are hard would you hold my hand
Can I lean on you till I find my balance
And get my feet back on the ground again

So I turned to drink and it was too expensive
I turned to god and there’s nothing there
So I turned the page and kept on going
To find the place where I should be

Chorus / solo

So you lie awake and do your thinking
Your demons come then you pray for dawn
And your coldest memories have got you sinking
No one knows the places you have gone

When times are hard you can stand beside me
When times are hard you can hold my hand
You can lean on me till you find your balance
And get your feet back on the ground again.
And get your feet back on the ground again
Ooh and get your feet back on the ground again.
