5 Minutes at a Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Life is hard But it's been a little harder than usual lately I wish I knew why I am struggling through this What makes it harder is the lack of understanding on my part Could I have changed this, why am I fighting life so hard? [Pre-Chorus] How long can I survive this? I'm losing the strength to try Tell me how am I supposed to live through this? How do we get by? [Chorus] We take one breath and let it out We take another and maybe somehow Everything will work out to be just fine We take life five minutes at a time One breath and let it out We take another and maybe somehow Everything will work out to be just fine We take life five minutes at a time [Verse 2] Life is hard It didn't turn out like I hoped it would be And I don't dare to dream If dreaming leads to this 'Cause when it's left to me, it's hard to see Past the sky becoming dark If it makes no difference, why am I trying to do my part? [Pre-Chorus] I've climbed back from that fall again It feels like a hundred times How do I believe in a hundred and one When we stumbled the ninety-nine? [Chorus] We take one breath and let it out We take another and maybe somehow Everything will work out to be just fine We take life five minutes at a time One breath and let it out We take another and maybe somehow Everything will work out to be just fine We take life five minutes at a time [Bridge] To go on living When all you've lived for is gone To find faith When everything you know about life might be wrong To find hope in the dark To still believe there's a dawn This is the courage to make a life It is the strength to go on [Chorus] We take one breath and let it out We take another and maybe somehow Everything will work out to be just fine We take life five minutes at a time One breath and let it out We take another and maybe somehow Everything will work out to be just fine We take life five minutes at a time
