Hard To Take

I have spent my whole life being troubled All by the things that I cannot change Buried alive from the weight of my struggle Most of it brought on trying to escape You can't run from your struggle Gotta face it No matter how far you go It's always chasing you Chasing you Its time for you to stand tall Hold your head up high Tell all your demons goodbye Leave them all behind to lay The future's clear ahead And it's plain to see The life that I want's in front of me The first step is all that remains But that's the hardest one to take It's crazy to me how long that I have held on To the pain I should've dropped long before now The weight I was carrying was not for me As soon as I let it go My goals they came within reach It's time for you to stand tall Hold your head up high Tell all your demons goodbye Leave them all behind to lay The future's clear ahead And it's plain to see The life that I want's in front of me The first step is all that remains But that's the hardest one to take
