Pain of Life

If only I could see
The things in store for me
Then the feeling of hopelessness
Would suddenly fade
And I'd trust in myself
Have pride in all I have made
The only thing I know
Is I've made it through this far
And the things I have seen
Along with all I have done
It makes a pretty big future
Seem well in my grasp

All the things that try to break you
Show you who you are
Without the pain of life
You'd never know your name
So face up to all your heartache
Listen to your dreams
And you'll surly find your place on earth
As you start to believe
‘Cause it’s happening to me

Tomorrow may seem rich
As today is all so sound
But as for turning the leaves around
To get a new start
It may be too late to find
You've turned them too far
Listen to your heart
It never lies to you
It will tell you to try
And then to try it again
You know success will not dawn
Until you suffer the pain

All the things that try to break you
Show you who you are
Without the pain of life
You'd never know your name
So face up to all your heartache
Listen to your dreams
And you'll surly find your place on earth
As you start to believe
‘Cause it's happening to me
