"Backbone" lyrics

When you're hurting deep down
When you're feelin' like you're never gonna dig your way out
Never gonna dig your way out
Keep pushing up the river
Keep mining for the silver
'Til you've struck gold
Gotta weather the storm

'Cause it can't rain forever, no
I'm telling you

We all fall on hard times, you know
Each day is a hard climb, you know
Some days your body has to carry on
So you gotta show a little backbone
You know, you know, you know
You gotta show a little backbone

These troubles, so real
We're all facing temptations
And our own fears
Year after year

But it can't rain forever, no
I'm telling you

We all fall on hard times, you know
Each day is a hard climb, you know
Some days your body has to carry on
So you gotta show a little backbone
You know, you know, you know
You gotta show a little backbone
(You gotta show a little backbone)
You know (you gotta show a little backbone)
You gotta show a little backbone

Are you strong enough, to get back up?
When the chains hold you to the ground
So let's break 'em down, yeah, uh
Let's break 'em down
Let's break 'em down
Whoa, I'm telling you...

We all fall on hard times, you know
Each day is a hard climb, you know
Some days your body has to carry on
So you gotta show a little
We all fall on hard times, yeah
Each day is a high climb, you know
We all fall on hard times, you know
(So you gotta show a little backbone)

We all fall on hard times, yeah
You know each day is a high climb, you know
We all fall on hard times
Each day is a high climb, you know
So you gotta show a little backbone
