Hard Life (Prelude) - Little River Band

Prelude by David Briggs

Song by Graham Goble

It’s the call of the hills

It’s the way of the wind

It’s your heavenly smile

That’s taken me in

Seekers search for the truth

Lovers hide in the night

Some get carried away

On an endless flight

It’s a hard life

We just gotta learn to understand

That we’ll be alright

If we lend everybody here a helping hand

People fight in our wars

On the world where we live

It’s a heavenly cause

Too much to forgive

Some get more than they need

Some need more than they get

Other watch while they bleed

Don’t remember they met

When will it end

Where to begin

We’re left alone to learn

Teachers teach in our schools

'bout the way we should be

They make all the rules

For them it’s easy to see

We’ll follow our hearts

We’ll run with the tide

We’ll stay far apart

'til we’re on the same side

It’s a hard life

We’ve just gotta learn to understand

That we’ll be alright

If we help everybody here

It’s a hard life

We just gotta learn to understand

That we’ll be alright

We just gotta lend everybody here a helping hand

When will it ever end

Just to begin again

It’s such a hard life
