Through the years life's been tough.
Broken dreams and homes are rough.
No one said it was going to be easy.
Sometimes it makes you feel so queasy.

Can't get down when life is tough.
Must go on when things are tough.
No one said it was going to be easy.
Sometimes it makes you feel uneasy.

Through the years much has changed.
So many brothers and sisters were named.
No one said it was going to be easy.
Sometimes it makes you feel so dreamy.

Can't believe in all those changes--
lived in so many different places.
No one said that it was going to be easy.
Sometimes it makes you feel so crazy.

Through the years so many friends.
How they treat you? It all depends.
No one said it was going to be easy.
Sometimes it makes you melancholy.

I'll be glad when this year's over.
Gone from this pitiful school forever.
No one said it was going to be easy.
Through the years it's been uncanny.
