Verse 1

Some nights I’m fighting ghosts again,

Losing battles deep within.

Trying to outrun what I don’t show,

In a place no one else can go.

I’ve slipped, I’ve stumbled, hit the ground,

Too proud to ask for help around.

But even when I feel alone,

I’m still walking this hard road home.

Pre-Chorus

I ain’t the man I wanna be,

But I’m done hiding from the truth in me.

Every fall just draws a line,

Saying “Son, get up [pause] it’s time.”

Chorus

It’s a hard road home,

When you’re carrying the weight of what you’ve known.

Chasing highs that cut you to the bone,

Feeling lost even when you’re grown.

But there’s a fire in my chest that won’t let go,

A beat that’s stronger than the ebb and flow.

Yeah, the nights get long, but I walk on slowwww

Down this hard road home.

Verse 2

I’ve tried to fill the cracks inside,

With quick escapes I couldn’t hide.

Thought a moment’s hit would ease the pain,

But it only brought the shame.

Still some nights I whisper soft and low,

“hashem, please don’t let me lose control.”

And step by step, though I’m not yet whole,

I keep moving on this hard road home.

Pre-Chorus

Maybe healing ain’t some perfect climb,

Maybe it’s falling down from time to time.

But every bruise keeps teaching me

Who I still have the chance to be.

Chorus

It’s a hard road home,

When you’re carrying the weight of what you’ve known.

Chasing highs that cut you to the bone,

Feeling lost even when you’re grown.

But there’s a fire in my chest that won’t let go,

A beat that’s stronger than the ebb and flow.

Yeah, the nights get long, but I walk on slowwww

Down this hard road home.

Bridge

I ain’t perfect, but I’m still here,

Wiping off the dust and fear.

Trusting Someone’s guiding when I roam,

Like there’s a hand that keeps me headed home.

Final Chorus

It’s a hard road home,

But I’m done running from the things I’ve known.

No more patching up a heart half-grown,

No more hiding in the undertow.

Yeah, there’s a fire in my chest that’s starting to show,

And I’ll keep walking till I heal my soul.

Through the highs and lows, I’ll find my ownnnn

Down this hard road home.
