Things get bad, times get tough
 
 Everybody knows
 
 You gotta be a little stronger
 
 Just to have the things you need
 
 Everybody knows
 
 If you try a little harder
 
 You're gonna live a whole lot longer
 
  
  Had enough of burnin' up the midnight hour
 
 Going out and stayin' far too long
  
 
 (chorus)
 
 You got to believe in something
 
 When you believe in something
 
 These are the best of times
 
 You got to have faith in someone
 
 When you have faith in someone
 
 These are the best of times
  
 
 Don't give up, can't give in
 
 Never lose a minute
 
 It's a long hard road back from nowhere
 
 Love is not what you take out
 
 It's what you put back in it
 
 Take you chance, there's no doubt
 
 Everything will all work out
  
 
 See my way, I know where I'm goin'
 
 I know I'd never think that I'd ever give up
 
 I want it all as soon as I can
 
 Right where I am
  
 
 Chorus
