I been working all my life
working hard for all my life
trying to find the reason fore living
tryin not to take to much with out giving
never saw no rainbows in my sky

but don’t you see I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
its got to get easier from now on

I’ve been running all my life
lord , I’ve run for all my life
seeing joy and seeing people grieveing
seeing towns I don’t remember leaving
never saw no bluebirds in my sky

don’t you see I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s got to get easier from on now

I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passing over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s got to get easier from on now
