Hard Times

Old folks say they ain't seen nothin' like it

Since the Great Depression back in 29'

Men and women trying to scratch out a livin'

Standing shoulder to shoulder in the welfare line

Hard times ain't got no prejudice

And it don't see black or white

Healthy and strong, willin' and able

We're just holding on in hard times

White haired preacher standing in the pulpit

Just a waiving his bible preaching end of days

Death and destruction raging' across the planet

Better pray to your maker that your soul is saved

Hard times ain't got no prejudice

It ain't standing on any side

Faith is strong, willin' and able

Keeps ya holdin' on in hard times

New born baby clinging to his mama

He came into this world just like you and me

Might be a doctor or a teacher or pauper

Only fate can determine how it supposed to be

Hard times ain't got no prejudice

Happiness don't have a price

It's love that brings us together

Keeps us holding on in hard times

Keeps us holding on in hard times
