It's the call of the hills 
It's the way of the wind 
It's your heavenly smile 
That's taken me in 
Seekers search for the truth 
Lovers hide in the night 
Some get carried away 
On an endless flight 

It's a hard life 
We just gotta learn to understand 
That we'll be alright 
If we lend everybody here a helping hand 

People fight in our wars 
On the world where we live 
It's a heavenly cause 
Too much to forgive 
Some get more than they need 
Some need more than they get 
Others watch while they bleed 
Don't remember they met 

It's such a hard life 
It's such a hard life 
When will it end 
Where to begin 
We're left alone to learn 

Teachers teach in our schools 
'Bout the way we should be 
They make all the rules 
For them it's easy to see 
We'll follow our hearts 
We'll run with the tide 
We'll stay far apart 
'Til we're on the same side 

It's a hard life 
We've just gotta learn to understand 
That we'll be alright 
If we help everybody here 
It's a hard life 
We just gotta learn to understand 
That we'll be alright 
We just got to lend everybody here a helping hand 

When will it ever end 
Just to begin again 
It's such a hard life
(It's such a hard life)
