Lyrics Hard Lessons - Jude Johnstone, Bonnie Raitt

Hard Lessons

I keep thinking
I’m gonna wake up one day
Gonna move this mountain
That’s in my way
I’m gonna feel the passion
That I’ve always wanted to feel
The sweet abandon
Of a love that’s real
When I’ve learned these hard lessons
That keep knocking at my door
Calling me out for more
When I’ve learned these hard lessons
How much longer will it be
Until my weary heart is free
I keep praying
I’m gonna look into your eyes
At a new reflection
Not the same disguise
I’m gonna be that person
That I’ve always wanted to be
One part wisdom
One part dignity
When I’ve learned these hard lessons
That keep haunting me at night
Confusing wrong from right
When I’ve learned these hard lessons
I’m gonna cherish my reward
When I finally make it through that door
And I won’t lose sight
'Til I win this fight
