The Hardway Lyrics - Free At Last - Dc Talk

Some people gotta learn the hard way 

I guess I'm the kind of guy who has to find out for myself 

I had to learn the hard way, Father 

I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help 

Now, I've been high and I've been low 

I've been some places that you will not go 

I never thought there would come the day 

When I wished I never would've lived this way 

But I've been searching for a long, long time 

I thought the Devil was a friend of mine 

I turned my back on everything that was true 

And wasted years that belong to You 

Some people gotta learn the hard way 

I guess I'm the kind of guy who has to find out for myself 

I had to learn the hard way, Father 

I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help 

It took so long for me to see 

That I'm a victim of nature and me 

Left to myself, I realize 

I am the maker of my own demise 

But You accept me every time and again 

And never mention just how selfish I've been 

Why must it always take me so long to see 

That I have fallen but You will forgive me 

Some people gotta learn the hard way 

I guess I'm the kind of guy who's got to find out for myself 

I had to learn the hard way, Father 

I'm on my knees and I'm crying for Your help 

I need Your help 

Some people gotta learn the hard way 

I guess I'm the kind of guy who's got to find out for myself 

I had to learn the hard way, Father 

I'm on my knees and I'm crying 

The warning signs are like flares in the night 

Still I proceed my greed is in spite of the fire 

I know that's bound to burn 

Why is it that I always gotta learn the hard way? 

The hard way 

I had to learn the hard way 

The hard way, the hard way 

I had to learn the hard way
