Lyrics
Harder Than I Thought It Was
(C) Speirosmusic 2013
1)
Heading for our destination
Partway down our road
Still can't see too far before us
But towards the horizon we go.
2)
It's been a long slow painful journey
To get this far was quite a task
Broken hearts and pain we've left behind us
Yet many more will cross our paths
Ch)
Harder than I thought it was
Harder than I thought it was
Harder than I thought it was
Yet I'm still here
You're still here
We're still here
3)
Lonely times when I travel with none beside me
Separated from the ones I love
Ushered forward by the hand that guides me
Cooing sounds the wings of the dove
Ch)
4)
Some they reach their journey, how it makes me sad
Nothing left but memories we had
Keep the gate open, as I'm still coming
Reach the memorial pad.
Ch)
