| Ever since I was a young boy
|
| Before I’d ever know who I am
|
| My father said you got to walk before you can crawl
|
| So you can run as soon as you can stand
|
| So you can run as soon as you can
|
| Now if every breathing day is a lesson
|
| I been writing this before I could read
|
| When momma said, son, don’t let this hard world
|
| Do what it’s doing to me
|
| Don’t let it do what it’s done to me
|
| It’s a hard rain that’s gonna fall on the city
|
| Still a hard rain that’s gonna fall on the farm
|
| There’s no 7th day in a world without pity
|
| There’s no ball and chain but the change didn’t come
|
| Where’s my better days? |
| Where’s my Jesus saves?
|
| Where’s someone to say?
|
| We got to hang on
|
| We’re brothers in arms
|
| Down in southern Alabama
|
| It’s «yes sir», «no ma’am», «thank you», and «please»
|
| But don’t you step out of line, don’t re-write or define
|
| What it means to see a man take a knee
|
| Okay, oh, say can you see
|
| It’s a hard rain that’s gonna fall on the city
|
| Still a hard rain that’s gonna fall on the farm
|
| There’s no 7th day in a world without pity
|
| There’s no ball and chain but the change didn’t come
|
| Where’s my better days? |
| Where’s my Jesus saves?
|
| Where’s someone to say?
|
| We got to hang on
|
| We’re brothers in arms
|
| We’re brothers in arms
|
| It’s a hard rain that’s gonna fall on the city
|
| Still a hard rain that’s gonna fall on the farm
|
| It’s a hard rain that’s gonna fall on the city
|
| Still a hard rain don’t give a damn who you are
|
| There’s no 7th day in a world without pity
|
| There’s no ball and chain but the change didn’t come
|
| Where’s my better days? |
| Where’s my Jesus saves?
|
| Where’s someone to say?
|
| We got to hang on
|
| We’re brothers in arms
|
| We’re brothers in arms |
