Day dreamin' at a bus stop   Zonin' out when it hit me hit me   We're all marchin' to the same beat   But no one knows where we're going      It's hard for me to keep up   Wearin' shoes that don't fit me fit me   So I'm gonna kick them off   And put on a pair of my own      The path of least resistance   Is easy too easy   Like roasted versus instant    Under pressure we become refined      Chorus:   I'm takin' the hard road   As long as it's my own   I'm takin' the hard road   Each rock is a stepping stone   I'm takin' the hard road   With all of its highs and lows   And whatever rocks life throws   Each rock is a stepping stone      One foot in front the other   The scenery not so pretty pretty   Don't wanna shut it out   I'm living and I'm growin'   Ain't lookin' for a shortcut   'Coz every time they short change me change me   I won't sidestep the problems   'Coz I'm learning how to use them so....      (Chorus)      Like when you broke my heart you....   Loved me then you loved me not   Pickin love apart like petals   Like when it's close but no cigar   It's hard to find the guts not to settle      The path of least resistance    Is easy too easy   Like roasted versus instant    Under pressure we become refined      (Chorus x2)
