You Can Do This Hard Thing

There at the table With my head in my hands A column of numbers I just did not understand You said add these together Carry the two now you You can do this hard thing You can do this hard thing It's not easy I know but I believe that it's so You can do this hard thing At a cold winter station Breathing into our gloves This would change me forever Leaving for God know's what You carried my bags You said I'll wait for you You can do this hard thing You can do this hard thing It's not easy I know but I believe that it's so You can do this hard thing Late at night I called And you answered the phone The worst it had happened And I did not want to be alone You quietly listened You said we'll see this through You can do this hard thing You can do this hard thing It's not easy I know but I believe that it's so You can do this hard thing Here we stand breathless And pressed in hard times Hearts hung like laundry On backyard clothes lines Impossible just takes A little more time From the muddy ground Comes a green volunteer In a place we thought Barren new life appears Morning will come whistling Some comforting tune for you You can do this hard thing You can do this hard thing It's not easy I know but I believe that it's so You can do this hard thing
