[Verse 1]

You would've never learned the words to "Amazing Grace"

Never felt the chill of a pew when you lost faith

Well, blood, sweat, and tears wouldn't mean a thing

If you didn't strike out a couple hundred times

If you never hit rock bottom, never cussed the sky

You would've never known to ask the good Lord why

Or ever changed your life

[Chorus]

If you never had hard days

If you never had a heartbreak

Never had more than you can take

Or carried the weight

Of life on your shoulders

Would you feel like you earned it?

Would you live with a purpose?

Or ever known your own strength

If you never had hard days?

[Verse 2]

You wouldn't know what it's like to dance in the rain

Never see the silver lining when the skies go gray

You wouldn't know a dream come true from a few that don't

You'd never find your way on a broken road

[Chorus]

If you never had hard days

If you never had a heartbreak

Never had more than you can take

Or carried the weight

Of life on your shoulders

Would you feel like you earned it?

Would you live with a purpose?

Or ever known your own strength

If you never had, if you never had

[Bridge]

The downs and scuffs, the scars, the ruts

And all you put behind you

When the wins, the ups, the rise aboves

Are right there to remind you

[Chorus]

If you never had hard days

If you never had a heartbreak

Never had more than you can take

Or carried the weight

Of life on your shoulders

Would it feel like you earned it?

Would you live with a purpose?

Or ever known your own strength

If you never had

If you never had hard days?

Yeah, if you never had hard days

[Outro]

Mmm
