I couldn't even count the times
I've had to look away
So you wouldn't see my teardrops fall
Like a river down my face
I'd trade you places if I could
I'd only be too glad
So you could be like all the rest
But it just don't work like that

But there will come a day my friend
All the pain and heartaches end
And the greatest gift we'll ever see
Is when like a bird you'll fly so free
I pray it won't be very long
There'll be no need to sing this song
And we'll laugh at how we used to say
There will come a day

You never stop impressing me
With quiet strength and faith
Living life with your head held high
And a heart so full of grace
I search for rhyme and reason yes
I try to understand
And try not to worry about those things
That are out of our hands

Repeat Chorus
