Hard Times Always Come

It was paradise for just a while
It didn't take much for us to smile
Now I see you in a harder time

Money still falls from the trees
No one picks it up, but the breeze
and it blows away, far away from our homes

In times like this, what we need
is all the happiness that we can heed
For someday soon, hard times always come

Hard times always come
Oh if you're feeling kind of numb,
Just know hard times always come

Hiding here all along,
amidst the people, amidst the song
Sing it loud, from mountaintops we yell

A glimmer of hope and light,
between the fearfulness and the fright
We must do away, with what is not love

In times like this, what we need
is all the happiness that we can heed
For someday soon, hard times always come

Hard times always come
Oh if you're feeling kind of numb,
Just know hard times always come
