From the recording Our Way
After writing almost exclusively songs about growing old and dying, we decided to write a song about how lucky we were to be born in the first place.
Lyrics
HARD TO BELIEVE (BILL PASSALACQUA, EZRA IDLET, JJ PASSALACQUA)
VERSE 1
AS THE VOICES FADE AND THE CURTAINS FALL
MAY IT SOOTHE YOUR SOUL FOR YOU TO RECALL
IT’S REALLY QUITE REMARKABLE
THAT YOU EVER GOT STARTED AT ALL
VERSE 2
IF YOU EVER GROW TIRED OF GAZING AT THE MOON
SPYING ANIMALS IN CLOUDS OR POPPIES IN BLOOM
JUST KNOW THAT YOU WON THE LOTTERY
ON THE DAY YOU WERE BORN
REFRAIN
I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE, HARD TO BELIEVE
MY EYES AND MY EARS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO DECEIVE
YET HERE WE ARE, AGAINST ALL ODDS
AND I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE
BRIDGE:
DAMN THESE WALLS OF WOOD AND GLASS
I NEED TO GET OUT OF THESE SHOES, LET MY FEET FEEL THE GRASS
SMELL THE MOSS IN THE WOODS, SPLASH IN THE CREEK
TASTE THE RAIN AS IT FALLS, FEEL THE WIND ON MY CHEEK
VERSE
HOW CAN SOMETHING SO CLEAR BE SO HARD TO SEE
THE LAUGHTER OF A CHILD MIGHT BE ALL THAT I NEED
THE WILD WONDER OF DISCOVERING
THAT I EVER GOT STARTED AT ALL
REFRAIN
SOLO OVER BRIDGE
CHORUS
