The Hard Things Lyrics

Have you ever been stuck in a minute

You couldn't control

You just couldn't win it

Have you ever been stuck in a moment

You couldn't own it

So how could you live it

But there's a peace that you can find

In the hardest moments of your life

You've got to find joy in the commission

Of the hard things

You've got to be light enough

To rise above the enemy

You've got to find peace

When the fire bombs won't cease

And all that you can be is you

That's the thing that you must do

Have you ever been stuck with your hands tied

While someone else fights

And just want to dig in

Have you ever been caught with your mouth closed

And no one else knows

You just want to give in

There's a river in your soul

When your world's beyond control

You've got to find joy in the commission

Of the hard things

You've got to be light enough

To rise above the enemy

You've got to find peace

When the fire bombs won't cease

And all that you can be is you

That's the thing that you must do

I know it's hard to imagine a life

Where everything's right

It all just goes right

I know it's hard not to give up the fight

But when it goes wrong

Then you know that you tried

I bet that you did

You've got to find joy

In the commission of the hard things

You've got to be light

Enough to rise above what you can't beat

If you ever feel stuck in a minute

Your life is full of those

It's time that you live it
