~(intro)~
~(verse 1)~
When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself
When you're so dead wrong, let alone no one else
Well the children still dying in the street, And babies still living with disease
And the cops got guns, and the po folk got sons who work for Mr. Franklin every week
~(chorus)~
And if you've come looking for hard times, hard times ain't hard to find
Because we're given that lifeline, only once in a lifetime
Baby we was born, maybe we were born
To be sure to endure when the storm comes
~(verse 2)~
Got them sad eyes, got cat eyes, got the angels tired from saving his life
And you could bet to contain yourself before you end up killed
Get his bare feet touchin her bare feet, the air breathes sweet near mountains peak
And I forgot what the wise man said about that ancient thread
~(chorus)~
And if you've come looking for hard times, hard times ain't hard to find
Because we're given that lifeline, only once in a lifetime
Baby we was born, maybe we were born
To be sure to endure when the storm comes
Baby we was born, maybe we were born
To rejoice, rejoice when it succumbs
