[Verse 1]
You would've never learned the words to "Amazing Grace"
Never felt the chill of a pew when you lost faith
Well, blood, sweat, and tears wouldn't mean a thing
If you didn't strike out a couple hundred times
If you never hit rock bottom, never cussed the sky
You would've never known to ask the good Lord why
Or ever changed your life

[Chorus]
If you never had hard days
If you never had a heartbreak
Never had more than you can take
Or carried the weight
Of life on your shoulders
Would you feel like you earned it?
Would you live with a purpose?
Or ever known your own strength
If you never had hard days?

[Verse 2]
You wouldn't know what it's like to dance in the rain
Never see the silver lining when the skies go gray
You wouldn't know a dream come true from a few that don't
You'd never find your way on a broken road
[Chorus]
If you never had hard days
If you never had a heartbreak
Never had more than you can take
Or carried the weight
Of life on your shoulders
Would you feel like you earned it?
Would you live with a purpose?
Or ever known your own strength
If you never had, if you never had

[Bridge]
The downs and scuffs, the scars, the ruts
And all you put behind you
When the wins, the ups, the rise aboves
Are right there to remind you

[Chorus]
If you never had hard days
If you never had a heartbreak
Never had more than you can take
Or carried the weight
Of life on your shoulders
Would it feel like you earned it?
Would you live with a purpose?
Or ever known your own strength
If you never had
If you never had hard days?
Yeah, if you never had hard days
[Outro]
Mmm
