The Hard Way

I been, I been, I been I been touching fires for the sake of feelin' I been chasing, chasing Chasing all these highs so I could crash the ceiling I been restless, tempted to follow every devil way down I took it so low and at that time it looked like no way out I had to see Try to believe I write my story and this ain't how it's ending Said to myself Said to myself, "this ain't how I'm gonna go down" When the bottom hit my soul I had to climb up all alone When the night shot down my hope I had to find a light to hold You gotta pray just a little Die just a little To come alive in the right way And sometimes to get home you gotta go The hard way, hard way Turnin', turnin', turnin' Turnin' every corner 'cause my heart was yearning For something more than 4 A.M. Messed up in bed, no I don't miss that feeling I don't see a reason Chasing love down a dead end But see the truth is I wouldn't know that unless I did I had to see Try to believe I write my story and this ain't how it's ending Said to myself Said to myself, "this ain't how I'm gonna go down" When the bottom hit my soul I had to climb up all alone When the night shot down my hope I had to find a light to hold You gotta pray just a little Die just a little To come alive in the right way And sometimes to get home you gotta go The hard way I wouldn't know what I'm made of If I took the easy way out (I took the easy way out) As long as it took me to get here Hard times were worth what I found (I found) I wouldn't know what I'm made of (I wouldn't know) If I took the easy way out (I took the easy way out) As long as it took me to get here (to get here) Hard times were worth what I found When the bottom hit my soul I had to climb up all alone When the night shot down my hope I had to find a light to hold You gotta pray just a little Die just a little To come alive in the right way And sometimes to get hope, you gotta go The hard way --- The Hard Way - Céline Dion
