Things get bad, times get tough Everybody knows You gotta be a little stronger Just to have the things you need Everybody knows If you try a little harder You're gonna live a whole lot longer Had enough of burnin' up the midnight hour Going out and stayin' far too long You got to believe in something When you believe in something These are the best of times You got to have faith in someone When you have faith in someone These are the best of times Don't give up, can't give in Never lose a minute It's a long hard road back from nowhere Love is not what you take out It's what you put back in it Take you chance, there's no doubt Everything will all work out See my way, I know where I'm goin' I know I'd never think that I'd ever give up I want it all as soon as I can Right where I am You got to believe in something When you believe in something These are the best of times You got to have faith in someone When you have faith in someone These are the best of times
