Hard Life
Eterna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up early to work.
To have a better life
I'm proud to do my part
For a better world

Running against time
In this big city
I want to take place
I know that it's difficult
To survive everyday
But if I can, so can you

Hard life
These days
People only think about Themselves
Hard life
These days
The best that i can do in this world

Arriving late at my house
That city drains me




I see my children's pride
That is my reason to fight
