Hard Road Home

[Verse 1] Tired of playing second fiddle Way too long, I bowed my head Kept my name down in the shadows While my dreams slept in the shed I been carrying far too long This sack of stones on my back Every mile left a bruise on me Every prayer came spinning back [Pre-Chorus] As I go up this mountain I can feel the ground let go The Lord has carried me way too long Now I’m learning how to know [Chorus] It's A Hard Road But I’m on it now It's A Hard Road And I’m standing proud Leaving that sack of stones Leaving it on the ground It's A Hard Road But I’m on it now [Verse 2] I been looking at my own two hands Like they belonged to someone else Now I reach for the morning gate And I don’t need nobody’s shelf In front of the Lord, I’m trembling But I’m not turning back again If I fall, I’ll fall moving forward If I break, I’ll rise and mend [Pre-Chorus] As I go up this mountain Every scar starts ringing clear The Lord has carried me way too long Now my own voice meets the fear [Chorus] It's A Hard Road But I’m on it now It's A Hard Road And I’m standing proud Leaving that sack of stones Leaving it on the ground It's A Hard Road But I’m on it now [Bridge] Way too long I let it ride Way too long I kept it tied I’m laying it down Before the Lord I’m taking back What I ignored [Chorus] It's A Hard Road But I’m on it now It's A Hard Road And I’m standing proud Leaving that sack of stones Leaving it on the ground It's A Hard Road But I’m on it now
