[Intro]
Yeah, it's tough out here, through the night and the day
Struggling on these streets, trying to find my way
[Verse 1]
Got kicked out, no place to go, life hit a low
Walking these blocks, shadows grow, got nowhere to show
Friends turn foes, got the cold wind blowin' slow
Runnin' on empty, stories untold, where do we go?
[Pre-Chorus]
What’s the point when the drugs don’t heal?
What’s the deal when the alcohol’s all we feel?
Hangin' by a thread, praying for a sign,
End of the tunnel, hope’s hard to find
[Chorus]
It’s hard out here when you living on these streets
When every step’s a mile, life’s bitter, no sweet
What do you do when the pain won’t end?
When the night’s too long, and you got no friends
Where you gonna be at the end of the light?
When the show is over, and you’re lookin’ for hope
Life’s a gamble, tryin’ to cope
Find somethin' real beyond these scopes
[Verse 2]
Faces fade, memories stay, trying to hold on
Searching for a break, something to play, for the dawn
Lost in the maze, shoulders heavy, feeling wrong
But I keep pushin', gotta be strong, gotta stay on
[Bridge]
What’s left when the drugs don’t work, when you fall?
Can’t drown the pain, gotta rise, stand tall
Lookin’ in the mirror, asking if I’ve lost it all
But deep inside, I hear a call, I gotta answer, gotta crawl
[Chorus]
It’s hard out here when you living on these streets
When every step’s a mile, life’s bitter, no sweet
What do you do when the pain won’t end?
When the night’s too long, and you got no friends
Where you gonna be at the end of the light?
When the show is over, and you’re lookin’ for hope
Life’s a gamble, tryin’ to cope
Find somethin' real beyond these scopes
[Outro]
So here I stand, battered and bruised
Won’t give up, gotta choose
To find the strength, to break the chains
And rise again, through all the stains
