Hard Lessons - Jude Johnstone, Bonnie Raitt

I keep thinking

I’m gonna wake up one day

Gonna move this mountain

That’s in my way

I’m gonna feel the passion

That I’ve always wanted to feel

The sweet abandon

Of a love that’s real

When I’ve learned these hard lessons

That keep knocking at my door

Calling me out for more

When I’ve learned these hard lessons

How much longer will it be

Until my weary heart is free

I keep praying

I’m gonna look into your eyes

At a new reflection

Not the same disguise

I’m gonna be that person

That I’ve always wanted to be

One part wisdom

One part dignity

When I’ve learned these hard lessons

That keep haunting me at night

Confusing wrong from right

When I’ve learned these hard lessons

I’m gonna cherish my reward

When I finally make it through that door

And I won’t lose sight

'Til I win this fight
