I'm lookin' forward to better times when I won't have to struggle to get by

Searchin' for some peace of mind, hard times got me crossin' the line

And every difficult day I learn I'm not alone in the struggle to get by

Everybody's got their own fight

It's just a fact of life

And I know things don't come easy

But I know that I'll get by

But I know that things don't come easy

But I'll survive

So I'm takin' it as comes

I know I've got to stay on my feet

I've got to roll with the punches because I see that it's up to me

And every day that that I fight temptation I know God is on my side

These are the lesson of life

And I will get by

And I know things don't come easy

But I know that I'll get by

I know things don't come easy

But I'll survive

And when I think back

It gives me strength inside

And I won't hold back

I take it all in stride

I will get by
