Lyrics

8.Times Are Tough

(but so are we)

A storm has gathered

On the land

Who knows what will fall

And what will stand

They preach of destruction

They talk in regrets

They say that we're done

But we're not over yet

Well times are tough babe

Yeah times are tough babe

Yeah times are tough babe

But so are we

So are we

And so if we have to

pull it down

And start it all over again

We will rise from these ashes

Much stronger and free

We will dance in the place

Where our sorrows used to be

Cos times are tough babe

Yeah times are tough babe

Yeah times are tough babe

But so are we

So are we

We are standing in the ring

With our backs against the rope

Never knowing if we can win

But we're never losing hope

They may think that we're defeated

But they don't know you and me

We'll have to wait and see

So let the trumpets in our hearts

Sound out in jubilee

Let our laughter fill the spaces

Where our sorrows used to be

Cos times are tough babe

Yeah times are tough babe

Yeah times are tough babe

But so are we

So are we
