~Mary Chapin Carpenter~
    The Hard Way

show a little inspiration
show a little spark
show the things that drew me to you
that stole my heart
and tell me something i don't know instead of everything i do
and look at me as if i mean
something to you

our hearts are beating while we sleep
but while the're wide awake
you know the world won't stop
and actions speak louder
listen to your heart
and what your heart might say
everything we got
we got the hard way

show a little passion baby
show a little style
show the knack for knowing when
and the gift for knowing how
and have a little trust in us
when fear obscures the path
you know we got this far
darling not by luck
but by never turning back

some will call on destiny
but i just call on faith
that the world won't stop
and actions speak louder
listen to your heart
and what your heart might say
everythign you got
you got the hard way

caught up in our little lives
there's not a lot left over
i see what's missing in your eyes
you're searching for that field of clover

so show a little inspiration
show a little spark
show the world a little light
when you show with your heart

we've got two lives
one we're given and the other one we make
and the world won't stop
and actions speak louder
listen to your heart
and your heart might say
everything we got
we got the hard way

(everything we got
we got the hard way)

everything we got
we got the hard way

(because the wold won't stop)
hang on baby
