Through the hard times
People say, "You gotta be strong"
Through these hard times

People say, "You gotta keep going on"

Through the hard times

People try and kick you when you're down
Through these hard times
Don't it always seem like

There's never anyone around
To help you when you're strung out?


Through these hard times
When you're falling out
No one seems to care

Through these hard times
They just run you down
Tell you that life isn't fair, no


Through these hard times
So through the hard times, let me know

Through these hard times
That I'm not alone


Through these hard times
'Cause right now I need you more
I need you more

Than I've ever thought

Through these hard times

People see what it's like for the poor
Through these hard times
People really find out what it's like to be ignored


Through these hard times
People just don't seem to give a damn

Through these hard times
It really feels like no one understands


Through these hard times
So through the hard times, let me know
Through these hard times

That I'm not alone
Through these hard times
'Cause right now I need you more

I need you more
Than I ever did before


Through these hard times
Ain't it funny how no one seems to care?
Through these hard times

They just run you down
Tell you that life isn't fair


Through the hard times, please let me know
Through the hard times, I'm not alone
Through the hard times

Through the hard times, let me know

Through these hard times

That I'm not alone
Through these hard times
'Cause right now I need you more


I need you more
Than I ever did before

Oh, than I ever did before

Right now I need you more

Than I ever did before
