Through the hard times
People say that 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, oh oh no
Through these hard times it really feels
Like no one understands, mm mm yeah yeah

(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
Oh oh oh yeah

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, oo oo
Right now I need you more than I ever did before
