It's So Hard

I have always been a fan of the Dixie Chicks and even have their new CD. I have listened to that CD many, many times and even sang the words of this song while listening. I guess I just never really paid attention to the words and I had NO idea this song was about infertility. The 2 sisters in the Dixie Chicks both struggled with infertility and I believe went through IVF and now each have a set of beautiful twins. Read more about their struggle with infertility HERE.

This is the first song I have ever heard about that deals with the struggles of infertility and I applaud the Dixie Chicks for getting it out there. I think it is beautiful and now almost everytime I hear it, I start to cry. Below are the lyrics or click HERE to listen to a short clip of the song.

So Hard...

Back when we started
We didn't know how hard it was
Living on nothing
But what the wind would bring to us

Now we've got something
I can imagine fighting for
So why is fighting all that we're good at anymore

And sometimes I don't have the energy
To prove everybody wrong
And I try my best to be strong
But you know it's so hard
It's so hard

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard

It felt like a given
Something a woman's born to do
A natural ambition
To see a reflection of me and you

And I'd feel so guilty
If that was a gift I couldn't give
And could you be happy
If life wasn't how we pictured it

And sometimes I just want to wait it out
To prove everybody wrong
And I need your help to move on
Cause you know it's so hard
It's so hard

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
So hard

I can live for the moment
When all these clouds open up for me to see
And show me a vision
Of you and me swimming peacefully

Last night you told me
That you can't remember
How to feel free

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy, easy
It's so hard
