I smile when I remember
All the things we did
The worlds we discovered
When I was a kid
Sittin' on your shoulders
I was riding high
All of life before me
I could see for miles

You gave me life to love
Show me the dreams I was dreamin' of
Told me, love was enough

When hard times come
Hard times come
Hard times come
To everyone
Hard times come
Hard times come
And they'll come till we're done

Lately I've been standin'
On my own two feet
There's a pair of watchful eyes
Starin' after me
I will turn them toward the sunrise
Turn them toward the stars
Where the beauty of a new day
Will always fill the heart
I'll give you life to love
Show you dreams you're dreamin' of
Just let love be enough

When hard times come
Hard times come
Hard times come
To everyone
Hard times come
Hard times come
And they'll come till we're done

Makin' your measure
What you're made of
Helping you galvanize the love

Cause hard times come
They come
Hard times come
To everyone
Hard times come
Hard times come
And they'll come till we're done
