Sometimes It's Hard To Breathe Lyrics

Sometimes it's hard to breathe
When we do what must be done
To keep our lives in order
And to have a little fun

We've must have love for those against us
For every man and child
We can do it, we can make it, for a while

If we can recall that everyone
Brings her story on her shoulder
And never means to harm us
When her shrieks are cold and colder

Someone made her taste his boot
And wallow in his bile
We can do it, we can make it, for a while

For a while, can it almost all make sense?
For a while, can this endless life feel fine?
Though the constant implied threat of violence
Eats away at our precious loving time

Truth forever on the scaffold
Wrong forever on the throne
Hope forever as false promise
Faith forever stands alone

If in her shoes we'll take that step
That proverbial hard mile
We can do it, we can make it, for a while
We can do it, we can make it, for a while
