Hard times come and hard times go
The hardest things to understand are the new and the unknown
How long will we have to stay all cooped up in our homes?
How much longer until we can hold our loved ones close?


It’s only for now, it’s not forever
What a wonder to behold when we work together
With a little bit of music and the power of us
We can lift each other up

Lift up Louisville
Cause this is what/how we do
i'll hold you on the other side
Cause I’m gonna make it through
You’re gonna make it, too


Sheltered in place daydreaming of THE good times ahead
Staying healthy at home just like the governor said
I never thought I’d see the day when we would come together
By keeping ourselves SO FAR away from ONE ANOTHER

It’s only for now, it’s not forever
What a wonder to behold when we work together
With a little bit of music and the power of us
We can lift each other up

Lift up Louisville
Cause this is what/how we do
i'll hold you on the other side
Cause I’m gonna make it through
You’re gonna make it, too


What a time to be alive I never thought I’d see the day
When the way to come together was to separate
With a little bit of patience and a whole lotta love
We can lift each other up.

This was supposed to be the year our lives pulled into focus
It all flew out of the window with the arrival of a virus

What would happen if our people banded
no one left, no one stranded
Even though we feelin' so abandoned
let's take a minute to make the moment candid
one time for the front line
extra daughter or son time
a new season full of sunshine
a new start for those who've done time
But no time to play this week
And no time to say this sweet
Everybody stay away 6ft
Otherwise we might lay 6ft
We gon' need y'all to get ready
We need each other when the day comes
Lifting the city like Teddy
Bridgewater or Abrams

With a little bit of music and the power of us
We can lift each other up


Lift up Louisville
Cause this is how we do
i'll hold you on the other side
Cause I’m gonna make it through
You’re gonna make it, too

Cause I’m gonna make it through
You’re gonna make it, too

Cause I’m gonna make it through
You’re gonna make it, too
