Hard To Believe - Khalid Hanifi

I know the summer won't change All the fires that start can't be saved Does that apply to you and me too? There's some things I've been meaning to say to you Like I just want to breathe, is that so hard to believe? What age would you call your prime? We've been at this for a long time That's a point that I think I could use I can't make up another drawn-out, vague excuse I'm trying hard not to lie Things I'm keeping close on both sides But is my silence deafening you? It keeps me up at night, I just need a few And I just want to breathe, is that so hard to? Or would you agree with me? And who would you choose to be? I think that we'll have to see before too long now Got you checking in again I've got a friend I've been talking to And if you knew I've fallen out You're checking in again I've got a friend I've been talking to And if you knew, I've fallen And I hope you're happy with the things that you've got And I'll still remember all the bright parking lots And I can finally breathe, is it so hard to believe it now? Was I tough to be around? Well, maybe you're better now All because I let you down I know there's so much I didn't say I don't wanna be that way I guess it's the price you pay For giving your trust away I'm giving mine now

You've got to believe in something It's a lonely universe Be careful what you wish for Cause your improvement might be worse Birth is a missing persons file It's a case of role reversal Life is a play... Sometimes I can remember the rehearsal You've got to believe in nothing There's an awful lot out there There's an awful lot in make up Some in every perfect hair You know I lose a lot of sleep Wondering if nothing would ever desert us But I know they don't know nothing And what they don't know can't hurt us I want to tell you This guy wants to charge you a nickel I want to tell you This guy wants to charge you a dime I want to tell you I'm 'o' charge you a five dollar bill And show you a real fine time Real fine time There's a candy coated iguana Behind curtain number one And a sixteen dollar bill For every pregnant flying nun They got a soda-pop that'll save the wold It's a tonic and an elixir It's a get-you-laid Better-paid Guaranteed all-round life-fixer I want to tell you This guy wants you to change a twenty I want to tell you This guy wants you to change a ten I want to tell you This guy knows you already did it But he wants you to do it again Do it again You've got to believe in something It's a lonely universe Be careful what you wish for Cause your improvement might be worse Birth is a missing persons file It's a case of role reversal Life is a play, they say Sometimes I can remember the rehearsal I want to tell you Some say life is a blessing I want to tell you Some say life is a curse I want to tell you Some say life is a play But you get no time to rehearse And you got to believe in something Cause it's a lonely universe You got to believe in something

Some folks say we're all God's children And maybe we are, I don't know But sometimes, I find that rather hard to believe And living in a ghetto like I do You'll find a little of everything going on All of that fussing and fighting and whatnot While I'm trying to get my rest Really makes it hard for me to believe But right now I would just like to Tell you about some of the people you might find in my neighborhood I know a man who curses his brother I know a man who thinks of no other Always chasing after money Thinks a poor man is funny It's hard Wow, it's hard to believe he's a child of God, oh yeah I know a woman who steals from her mother And that same woman, she gets drunk one day to another She kicks her kids out in the streets Puts another man under that father's sheets and I find it hard Wow, It's hard to believe she's a child of God, oh yeah I know some people who go to church on Sunday And these the same people who wear a sheet on Monday They talk about justice and being free But they're watching lynchings so easily Yes it's hard Hey, It's hard to believe they're children of God, oh yeah I find it hard to believe right now, oh yeah I find it hard to believe right now That these people call themselves children of God Wow, it's so hard to believe right now That these people have the nerve to call themselves children of god

Hold my hand and fly Never say goodbye Across the open sky Leave the world behind I will be alright if you stay by my side Spring and summer Love and laughter We'll live happily ever after We'll fly higher than we thought we'd be Because you've shown me how to believe Tiny shining star I know who you are You're never very far We'll never be apart Sparkle in my eye Light the sky tonight Spring and summer Love and laughter We'll live happily ever after We'll fly higher than we thought we'd be Because you've shown me how to believe In me (me) You've shown me how How to believe Fall and winter Love and laughter We'll live happily ever after We'll fly higher than we thought we'd be Because you've shown me how to believe Hold my hand and fly Never say goodbye

And old revolution arose from the side Of people that have the same question in mind: "Will I spend my life Fighting for others' foundations and pride?" Foundations and pride We always imagined a world without poor Happiness, freedom, enjoyed by us all On our feet We stand Fellow companions in our own command Are we mistaken? Is all this a daydream? Are we mistaken? Well, I know I may not be on the side of the powerful But I would rather live this way Someday, I know That we're gonna be so powerful Someday, I know That we're gonna take the chance Someday, I know That we're gonna be... We're gonna be so powerful No matter what, we'll follow through This is the story to believe Maybe it's beyond your comprehension Power is not a means (It is an end) Hope you don't have any objection Someday, I know That we're gonna be so powerful Someday, I know That we're gonna take the chance Someday, I know That we're gonna be... We're gonna be so powerful Our lies will be told as the truth

My heart and soul lost at sea, but I found my way home Sometimes it gets harder to see the lighthouse in the distance But I held my head up high through all the empty nights Raised a hand to the sky, and now I'm free The light still waits our love Fallin' for your lies again I got back up from being alone And I'll learn to fly again This ain't the first time And it won't be the last time I find the strength in me I find the strength to believe This ain't the first time And it won't be the last time I find the strength in me I find the strength to believe My heart and soul lost at sea, but I found my way home Sometimes it gets harder to see the lighthouse in the distance But I held my head up high through all the empty nights Raised a hand to the sky, and now I'm free The light still waits our love Fallin' for your lies again I got back up from being alone And I'll learn to fly again This ain't the first time And it won't be the last time I find the strength in me I find the strength to believe This ain't the first time And it won't be the last time I find the strength in me I find the strength to believe

I've been waiting for something for so long To show me the answers that I want A reason to believe in that's so strong But I don't think that it exists I've been waiting for something for so long To show me the answers that I want A reason to believe in that's so strong But I don't think that it exists Yeah, give me reason to believe This world's not a sick machine When everywhere's a dead end In every direction Yeah, can you give me what I need Or just sit bad and watch me bleed 'Cause after all you can't get Everything you want now But all I would need is one Thing to keep me moving on Everybody's got a secret Can you tell me, what is mine? Can you tell me what you'd find? I'll tell you if you keep it, I promise not to lie Well I have the fears The pain and the tears I just can't hide It all disappears 'Cause everything passes With the time All you need Is reason to believe
