Uriah Heep - Hard Way To Learn Lyrics






I should have walked away
When I lost faith
But I knew deep inside it was no disgrace
You see, sometimes in life
You have to know your place
And it's a hard way to learn

I thought I was in control
And all I had was safe
But there was no way I could know
That the risk was too great
You see, sometimes life takes you
Where you don't wanna go
And it's a hard way to learn

It burns you up inside
There is no truth without lies
It takes your soul away
'Cos it's a hard way to learn

I watched the world go by
From outer space
But there's nowhere left to hide
In such a lonely place
You see, sometimes you just have to
Know your place
And it's a hard way to learn

I'd swim an ocean but I fear I’d drown
Just to escape from this place I'm bound
Nobody told me just how hard
I would hit the ground
If I could leave, if I could only leave
I would leave right now

It's a hard way to learn

  1. G.... K....

    Very good album!!

  2. R.... G....

    You know that some times You have to know your place..........
    Good to be humbled
    Love You hearts

  3. R.... G....

    Did not know this was written by Trevor Bolder he always
    wrote some of their best songs .... amazing son

  4. R.... G....

    One of the most prolific , brilliant bands of all time ... they really do get better allt he time ... kick ass song .

  5. R.... G....

    Met Bern Shaw in Golden Colorado in '96 where Heep did a gig in a miserable dive of a bar called the ' Buffalo Rose ' . A mystery as to why they would even want to play such a small place . Serious ... at capacity it could hold about 750 heads .
    There were about 5000 hahaa something like that people show up and it was pandemonium ... well , anyway , it was an awesome show .
    Yeah was gonna say ... I saw Bernie Shaw hauling in T shirts 2 hours before the gig .. I recognized him immediately and said something stupid like 'Wo..You're Bernie Shaw aren't you' ....he was utterly cool...
    total down to earth gentleman.. talkedd to me as if i'd known him forever and we only spoke 30 seconds . In fact the whole conversation was ...
    Dude..I think you're the best singer since David Byron ! ( I was a bit shell shocked )
    Wow ... thanks a lot man
    ( forgotten words at that point )
    Well . we'll try to give you a kick ass show !


    Front row center ... yeah ... best show I've ever seen ... !
    Got to shake hands with all of ' em
    True gentlemen .... excellent performers
    and am SO f' ing glad they have not been tainted by
    the sad poisin that is the RARHOF ////////

  6. B.... D....

    just listened to all od into the wild for the first time, not a bad track.

  7. p.... ....

    Written by Mr. Trevor Bolder..great song. Sound like Deep Purple.

  8. O.... ....

    Amazing track! RIP Trevor Bolder.

  9. P.... W....

    This is a Trevor Bolder song. I guess it was written during the time he was suffering from cancer. I wonder how much his illness is present within this song?

    P.... W....

    Trevor was really pissed off when this fabulous song didn`t make it to the album. IMHO, the albums best song.

  10. A.... A....

    Minha música favorita do Uriah Heep.

  11. M.... S....

    What a great tune. Shaw’s voice is like fine worn leather I tells ‘ya. This should have replaced the rather limp T-Bird Angel on Into the Wild instead of being relegated to “bonus track” on some editions. Would have made the album ever better than it already is.

  12. k.... k....

    великолепная песня!

  13. g.... k....

    beautiful song.

  14. k.... k....

    ШИКАРНАЯ ПЕСНЯ

    Bernie Shaw is one of the greatest voices of music history, brilliant.

    d.... ....

    Met him in '96 in Golden Colorado.... he was hauling in T shirts for the gig ...I recognized him immediately . He talked to me like any ordinary person.. very cool and down to earth . He said ' We'll try to give you a great gig ' ... and was it ever ! They burned that small club down !

  16. M.... M....

    Bonus track on which edition ? Japanese ?
    Tsk, they had better put it on the regular album.... It's better than a bunch of tracks from this CD that lacks softer pieces

    M.... M....

    I was forced to buy Japanese edition of
    this album because of this great song...

  17. A.... N....

    one of the greatest rock bands of all times 

  18. r.... d....
