Name: Life Ain't Easy
Duration: P00H03M08S
Description: I wrote this song during my trials of college. The life of a music major is filled to the brim with millions of things to do, classes to take, and countless hours to practice and perform. At one point, I was ready to just give up and I was getting frustrated with God, asking "Why is life still so hard? I thought You would save me from this?!" This song was God's response.

about

I wrote this song during my trials of college. The life of a music major is filled to the brim with millions of things to do, classes to take, and countless hours to practice and perform. At one point, I was ready to just give up and I was getting frustrated with God, asking "Why is life still so hard? I thought You would save me from this?!" This song was God's response.

lyrics

It's so uncomfortable, this darkness I've been waiting in
I thought somehow, that I could finally see the light again
Where did this start, so I can start blaming
Is it something I've done?

I thought somehow that life would get easy
I thought somehow that I could sit back and be lazy
I thought for sure that God was gonna save me
When will this end?

Life ain't easy
My wounds are gonna sting
But all the cuts and bruises
Won't keep me from being me

Life ain't easy
But through my God, I've been redeemed
My shackles hurt from breaking
But at least I know I'm free

It still hurt, 'cause life ain't easy

I thought for sure that I was screwed six ways from Sunday
All on my own, accused and condemned
I thought for sure, that I was a dead man walking
You reminded me that it's been done before

Life ain't easy
My wounds are gonna sting
But all the cuts and bruises
Won't keep me from being me

Life ain't easy
But through my God, I've been redeemed
My shackles hurt from breaking
But at least I know I'm free

While I walk the road
And trip in potholes
I try to cover the cuts so they won't show

You cannot know
Of my broken bones
'Cause this is my pain, I'll make it my own

You take my disguise
See through all my lies
You take all my pride and turn it inside out

Life ain't easy
My wounds are gonna sting
But all the cuts and bruises
Won't keep me from being me

Life ain't easy
My God, I've been redeemed
My shackles hurt from breaking
But at least I know I'm free

Life ain't easy
My wounds are gonna sting
But all the cuts and bruises
Won't keep me from being me

Life ain't easy
But through my God I've been redeemed
My shackles hurt from breaking
But at least I know I'm free

Life ain't easy
