BRYANT Wrote, Sang and Produced this song and its video about LIFE IN TODAY'S TROUBLED WORLD and BEYOND [Social, Economic, Love].

The "homeless woman on an old gray bike" was a real person Bryant met at a local gas station. He asked her how long she had been riding her bicycle and she replied, since she "lost her life" - after being fired from her job as a company CEO, then sadly losing her family.

== "TIMES ARE HARD" (Rock / Soul) Lyrics ==

I sat and watched the sun go down from a mountain top just over my town, that's when it hit me like a busting dam, times are hard, yes times are hard.

A homeless woman on an old gray bike rolled up to me and stared with hopeless eyes, her hands were swollen from her life's lost ride cause times are hard, yes times are hard.

Times are hard and they're gonna get harder hands are out on every corner, dreams have gone like lambs to the slaughter cause times are hard. Look around its time for paying GREED is GOD and our own making, look at all that we've forsaken. Now times are hard, yes times are hard.

You give your life and soul to a company, years of work and they lost the money, and all they say to you is sorry, times are hard, oh times are hard.

Your life is changed in a New York minute you never thought you'd be caught up in it, soon despair turns into panic cause times are hard, yes times are hard.

Times are hard and they're gonna get harder hands are out on every corner, dreams have gone like lambs to the slaughter cause time are hard, look around its time for paying GREED is GOD and our own making, look at all that we've forsaken now times are hard, yes times are hard.

What do you do when your hope has died and your standing on the other side looking back at a perfect world that's gone, there's no words that can describe what is real overwhelms the mind it's gotta feel like you've been STRUCK BLIND, now that times are hard oh times are hard.

Times are hard and they're gonna get harder hands are out on every corner, dreams have gone like lambs to the slaughter cause time are hard, look around its time for paying GREED is GOD and our own making look at all that we've forsaken now times are hard, yes times are hard.

I sat and watched the sun go down from a mountain top just over my town that's when it hit me like a BUSTING DAM, times are hard, yes times are hard.
