Things get bad, times get tough
   Everybody knows
   You gotta be a little stronger
   Just to have the things you need
   Everybody knows
   If you try a little harder
   You're gonna live a whole lot longer
  
   Had enough of burnin' up the midnight hour
   Going out and stayin' far too long
  
   (chorus)
   You got to believe in something
   When you believe in something
   These are the best of times
   You got to have faith in someone
   When you have faith in someone
   These are the best of times
  
   Don't give up, can't give in
   Never lose a minute
   It's a long hard road back from nowhere
   Love is not what you take out
   It's what you put back in it
   Take you chance, there's no doubt
   Everything will all work out
  
   See my way, I know where I'm goin'
   I know I'd never think that I'd ever give up
   I want it all as soon as I can
   Right where I am
