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
