Ain’t gonna harden me

Lyrics

[INTRO] Soft guitar riff, a gentle breeze of wind through leaves [VERSE 1] Turn on the TV, everybody’s fighting Pick a side, draw a line, ain’t nobody listening Another bad headline before my coffee’s even poured Seems like everybody’s keeping score You can spend all day getting mad at strangers Carry all that weight like you’re gonna change ’em But Grandma always told me, “Honey, guard your heart” ‘Cause once you let it harden, that’s the hardest part So I turn it off Step outside Call my momma, wave at the neighbor driving by [PRE-CHORUS] Yeah, the world’s gone crazy But it ain’t taking me [CHORUS] This world ain’t gonna harden me Ain’t stealing my joy that easily I’m still gonna love, still gonna laugh Still gonna give more than I get back I’ll stand my ground without throwing stones Keep a little grace in these old bones You can call me stubborn, honey, I agree The world’s gonna be what the world’s gonna be But it ain’t gonna harden me [VERSE 2] I still believe a front porch matters Sunday dinner and a whole lotta laughter Showing up when the clock says the day’s done Bringing a pie, making the house feel like home I’ve seen the headlines turn into whispers And the world keep spinning on a broken drum But I’ll keep walking in the sunshine And let my heart be the only drum [BRIDGE] When the night falls, the city hums loud I’ll find a quiet corner in the crowd I’ll breathe the peace that’s in the air And let it wash away the nightmare [CHORUS] This world ain’t gonna harden me Ain’t stealing my joy that easily I’m still gonna love, still gonna laugh Still gonna give more than I get back I’ll stand my ground without throwing stones Keep a little grace in these old bones You can call me stubborn, honey, I agree The world’s gonna be what the world’s gonna be But it ain’t gonna harden me [HOOK
