[Intro]
(I been through the—)
(I been through the—)
[Verse 1]
Down in the valley, there ain’t no sun
That kinda darkness, it’ll keep you on the run
Out in the city that never sleeps
Those pretty lights, they gonna drive ya to your knees
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain is like a megaphone
Calling all the wayward home
[Chorus]
What have you figured out
In this life without
The hard times?
What have you figured out
In this life without
The hard times? The hard, hard times
[Verse 2]
These doom days dragging you along (Hey, hey, hey)
What don’t kill you gonna make you strong (Hey, hey, hey)
The door’s opеn and the light is on (Hey, hey, hеy)
There’s only one way outta Babylon
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain is like (Pain is like) a megaphone (A megaphone)
Calling all (Calling all) His people home
[Chorus]
What have you figured out
In this life without
The hard times?
What have you figured out
In this life without
The hard times? The hard times
Oh, they make us, they break us
They bend and they shape us
They’re turning our hearts around
What have you figured out
In this life without
The hard times?
[Post-Chorus]
The hard, hard times
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Oh, the hard, hard times
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
It’s the story of the ages (Ages)
Falling from the pages (Falling from the pages)
Through the highs and the lows
In the Garden we grow
It’s His loving hands that shape us (Shape us)
It’s the story of the ages
Oh, it’s falling from the pages
Through the highs and the lows
In the Garden we grow
It’s His loving hands that shape us
[Chorus]
What have you figured out
In this life without
The hard times? H-h-hard times
What have you figured out
In this life without
The hard times? The hard times
Oh, they make us, they break us
They bend and they shape us
They’re turning our hearts around
What have you figured out
In this life without
The hard times?
[Post-Chorus]
The hard, hard times
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Oh, the hard, hard times
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
Yeah, the hard, hard times
