The Hard Way Songtext
von Mary Chapin Carpenter

Show a little inspiration, show a little spark
And show that things that drew me to you and stole my heart
Tell me something I don′t know instead of everything I do
And look at me as if I mean something to you

Our hearts are beating while we sleep
While we're wide awake
You know the world won′t stop, actions speak louder
Listen to your heart and your heart might say
Everything we got, we got the hard way

Show a little passion, baby, show a little style now
And show the knack for knowing when and the gift for knowing how
And have a little trust in us when fear obscures the path
You know we got this far, darling, not by luck
But by never, never turning back


Some will call on destiny, but I just call on faith
That the world won't stop, and actions speak louder
Listen to your heart, to what your heart might say
Everything we got, we got the hard way

Caught up in our little lives
There's not a lot left over
I see what′s missing in your eyes
You′re searching for that field of clover

So show a little inspiration, show a little spark
Show the world a great big light when you show it your heart

We've got two lives, one we′re given
And the other one we make
And the world won't stop, actions speak louder
Listen to your heart, and your heart will say
Everything we got, we got the hard way

Everything we got, we got the hard way
Everything we got, we got the hard way
Because the world won′t stop
