I Can Do Hard Things - Jennifer Nettles

Sometimes I don’t like it

But that don’t mean I don’t love it

Sometimes I get down so low

But that don’t mean I can’t rise above it

Sometimes it’s the vast unknown

As far as I can see

And sometimes it feels like I’m touching everything

And everything is touching me

I’ve lost people and money

To become the woman I am today

And I’ll still be becoming tomorrow

Maybe losin', but still choosin' her anyway

And oh, it’s a lot to look at all that I got

It’s a lot to see who I am and am not

But I can laugh and I can love and I can dream

And I can do hard things

I look at my baby

I wouldn’t trade him for the world

And I’ve gained joy like I’ve never known

But lost the lightness when I was a girl

We’re told to say that it’s better

And it is and it isn’t, and I know

That there’s little black or white

There’s little wrong or right

And mostly it’s both

And oh, it’s a lot to look at all that I got

It’s a lot to see who I am and am not

But I can laugh and I can love and I can dream

And I can do hard things

Sometimes I can hold it all

I know where I end and where I start

And sometimes it’s all way too heavy

And I weigh more than the sum of all my parts

And oh, it’s a lot to look at all that I got

It’s a lot to see who I am and am not

But I can laugh and I can love and I can dream

I can win or I can lose, it’s all the same

I still dance, and I’ll sing in the pain

And I can do hard things
