The Harder They Come

Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
One and all Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done 'Cause as sure
as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
...But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all

The Harder They Come

Well they tell me about the pie up in the sky.
Waiting for me when I die.
But between the day your born and when you die.
They never seem to hear even your cry.
So as soon as the sun will shine.
Im gonna get my shine out whats mine.
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
Well the opus are trying to keep me down.
Trying to drag me under-ground.
And they think that they have got the battle won.
Oh! I say forgive them lord the do not what theyve done.
So as soon as the sun will shine.
Im gonna get my shine out whats mine.
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall.

But Id rather be a free man in my grave.
Then living as a puppet or a slave.

And then the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (its true)
Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall.

Harder They Come

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nahnah

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nahnah
Nah nah nah nah nah
I dont need no-one whos gonna tie me down
I need you to let me be
Why is it, they always seem to come around?
I dont have time for me
Have some pride, lift your head high
Walk away while you can
Theres nothing I can do to save you now
So take it like a man
The harder they come, the harder they fall
You think Im yours but Im not at all
The harder they come, the harder they fall around me
The harder they come, the harder they fall
Your confident but youll lose it all
The harder they come, the harder they fall around me
Love my freedom, nothings gonna take it from me
Dont want it to end
I cant see why people always try and change me
Thats not my intent
Have some pride, lift your head high
Walk away while you can
Theres nothing I can do to save you now
So take it like a man
The harder they come, the harder they fall
You think Im yours but Im not at all
The harder they come, the harder they fall around me
The harder they come, the harder they fall
Your confident but youll lose it all
The harder they come, the harder they fall around me
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nahnah

The Bigger The Fool

Hey, doesn't it still look easy as it did to you
Hey, wasn't it true, after all
I couldn't help myself, girl
And i can't blame you
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Living on old illusions, and some make believe
That mattered to me, most of all
Closing my eyes to changes i've refused to see
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Somewhere in your future, on the far side of your world
You might read my writing on the wall
And think of the easy dreamer who believed in you
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall.
If someday you wake up in a world that's turned on you
And nobody answers when you call
Hey, think of the easy dreamer who believes in you
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Think of the crazy dreamer who believes in you
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall.

The Bigger The Fool

(jim rushing/larry cordle)
Her long legs looked like trouble
As she sasheyed through the door
And my mind flashed a warning sign
That i chose to ignore
For the prize i thought i could win
The risk seemed mighty small
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
Fell in love in the heat of passion
Oh, but passion has it's price
Under all that beauty
Beat a heart that was made of ice
God knows as far as i could see she didn't have a flaw
But the bigger the fool the harder the fall
I said a woman to keep
The softer the skin
The sweeter the love
The more bitter the end
Well, one lesson i've learned that applies to all
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
One day she was lovin' me
The next day she was gone
And i became another verse
To a lonesome heartbreak song
Now that i've learned to face the truth
The words stick in my craw
Well, the bigger the fool the harder the fall
I said a woman to keep
The softer the skin
The sweeter the love
The more bitter the end
Well, one lesson i've learned that applies to all
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
The bigger the fool the harder the fall

Try A Little Harder

Chorus:
Try a little harder now
Try a little harder now
Try a little harder now
Try a little harder now
No one ever said it would be easy
Doin whatever you do
You just might have to suffer
But keep on movin right through
Youve got to
Chorus
Sometimes you have to change your tune
To get where you want to be
But dont you let that satisfy you
You can have all you see

Harder To Breathe

How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable
So condescending unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step cause if I do youll need a miracle
You drain me dry and make me wonder why Im even here
This double vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to funkin tread the ground Im walking on
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
Youll understand what I mean when I say
Theres no way were gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause its getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause its getting harder and harder to breathe
What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better you never listened to a word I said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
Youll understand what I mean when I say
Theres no way were gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause its getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause its getting harder and harder to breathe
Does it kill
Does it burn
Is it painful to learn
That its me that has all the control
Does it thrill
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold

Dont Wanna Say Goodbye

(wally bryson/eric carmen)
Dont want to drive your love away from me
Dont want to waste your time
Youre here and there and far away from me
Im so alone, its just a crime
If you could lie here by my side at night
If you could chase away my blues
Youd understand just how it feels at night
To have to stand inside my shoes
Dont want to say goodbye
Dont want to let you see me cry
Still, I dont want you to live a lie
Im gonna try a little harder
Im gonna try a little harder
Im gonna try a little harder
And maybe youll love me
Dont want to drive your love away from me
Dont want to waste your time
Youre here and there and far away from me
Im so alone, its just a crime
Dont want to say goodbye
Dont want to let you see me cry
Still, I dont want you to live a lie
Im gonna try a little harder
Im gonna try a little harder
Im gonna try a little harder
And maybe youll love me
Maybe youll love me
Maybe youll love me
Maybe youll love me

If I Try A Little Hard

If I try a little hard
I can make it anywhere

I can move any mountain
If I try a little harder

When life gets me down
A lot of the time it puts me in a frown
If I try a little harder
Harder ill try

Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall

(words & music by larry gatlin)
I told her to leave me alone
Thats what shes done, just what shes done
And a house built for two, aint a home
When its lived in by one, one lonely one
And I can no longer hear footsteps, come right down the hall
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall
She caught me lying, then she caught a train
And I caught a fever walking home in the rain
Oh yeah!
But its over and Im done
She left me once and for all
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall

This Pain

Grasping for air
It's getting harder to breathe
My lungs collapsing
From this pain I cannot bear
This pain that's killing me slowly
Ripping me apart
Bringing me down
This pain that won't go away
I'm going through hell
Each day becomes harder
Trying to live through this pain
My hearts bleeding from these feelings
Drowning in crimson regrets
Suffocating under these emotions
Making happiness harder to find
And reason to live a waste of time
The days are harder to survive
When I'm feeling this pain

Or, Is It?

it's easy...
to say a lot of nothing
with a lot of words!
easy to preach by day
and whore by night.
easy to have a lot of answers,
when you dont even
know the questions...
easy to say:
'i'd never do that...'

it's a lot harder
to speak the truth
in a few simple words.
harder to admit your mistakes,
and be honest about yourself.
harder to listen for the questions,
knowing that often listening
is the best answer.
harder to admit:
'i've been there before...'

or, is it?

I thank the lord i'm still strong like before
I picked myself up from the floor and tried
I tried just a little bit harder, oh yea
If someone wants you to bleed and it feels like your're dying
Don't make the movers you don't need, don't cry, just say ba-ba-bye-bye and try, try
Try just a little bit harder, you'll survive
Try just a little bit harder, go ahead and try

Hit 'em again, Harder, harder

Remember that old football cheer
we all used to yell?
Well, this is the cheer the politicians use
as they put us all through hell.

Just as you think you might be getting ahead,
they hit you again harder with lies you are fed.
When you're too busy trying to make ends meet
they hit you again harder and turn up the heat.

They hit real hard when they hit your pocketbook
and at their tax returns, you'll never get a look.
So now we have a financial crisis staring us in the face.
The collapse of our dollar, which has fallen from grace

We've let them go too far without fighting back.
And like the football game, we need a quarterback sack.
America is falling. We need the 2 minute drill.
But there's not enough bravery so head for the hills.

And if you listen from that hill you might make it to
you'll hear from our Capitol Hill, our red, white and blue
Hit 'em again, hit 'em again harder-harder.

All I can do is take share of the blame

Tears forever hoodwink and disobey
They vitrify molten glass to blow apart
Such is the principality they're cliche
Such is the hypnosis of a loyal heart

All I can do is take share of the blame
Try harder still at loves petulant game

A raglan road weaves unto my sweet-
Lilly of the valley; mine own colleen
Mine own princess soon to be queen
In an Eden's garden fulfilled, replete!

All I can do is take share of the blame
Try harder still at loves petulant game

Discretionary joys are a darken retreat
A delight loathsome in wailing torment
Pleasures enjoyment encoded deceit
Tissues of lies I need not circumvent

All I can do is take share of the blame
Try harder still at loves petulant game

My love is forever I pray yours is too
For my heart is entrusted to only you
My soul has already now transcended
Holy in heaven; all is truly splendid!

Now that you're out of my life

You thought that I'd be weak without you
But I'm stronger
You thought that I'd be broke without you

But I'm smarter

But I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without you
Sold 9 million

I'm still gon be here
