Hard Cold World

Verse 1

Woke up to the alarm on the floor

Rent's three days late and my pockets are sore

They say if you try hard enough you'll fly

But the ground keeps pulling me down from the sky

Pre-Chorus

Oh I keep on marching through the rain

Barely holding on to what I gain

Chorus

Gotta make it in this hard cold world

One step forward two steps down

Gotta make it though the flags all furled

I'm gonna carry on till the sun comes 'round

Verse 2

Sister said don't you let the city break you

Promise that some bright morning will take you

Every elevator takes you down some more

But I keep on knocking on that golden door

Pre-Chorus

Oh I keep on marching through the rain

Barely holding on to what I gain

Chorus

Gotta make it in this hard cold world

One step forward two steps down

Gotta make it though the flags all furled

I'm gonna carry on till the sun comes 'round

Bridge

And if I stumble I will rise again

Dust my shoulders and begin

This road is long but the heart is strong

I've been singing my redemption song

Chorus

Gotta make it in this hard cold world

One step forward two steps down

Gotta make it though the flags all furled

I'm gonna carry on till the sun comes 'round

Outro

Carry on

Carry on

Till the sun comes 'round
