I've been workin' all my life 
Workin' hard for all my life 
Tryin' to find a reason for livin' 
Tryin' not to take too much without givin' 
Never saw no rainbows in my sky 

But don't you see I'm 
Halfway over the hill 
I'm passin' over the hardest part 
I'm halfway over the hill 
It's gotta get easier from now on 

I've been runnin' all my life 
Lord, I've run for all my life 
Seein' joy and seein' people grievin' 
Seein' towns and don't remember leavin' 
Never saw no blue birds in my sky 

But don't you see I'm Halfway over the hill 
I'm passin' over the hardest part 
I'm halfway over the hill 
It's gotta get easier from now on 
Oh I'm halfway over the hill 
I'm passin' over the hardest part 
I'm halfway over the hill 
It's gotta get easier from now on
