I look back on the wind of the road
Storms that have past, the valleys so low
And I know there’s still a long way to go
And some darker days
And I’m gonna be down with nothing to lose
And there gonna be clouds but that sun’ll break through
I have no doubt when that sky’s turning blue
I’ll be able to say
Ain’t life beautiful that way
Just hold a red rose in your hand and be sure to thank the rain
You can never know true joy till you truly feel the pain
Ain’t life beautiful that way
My hearts like the sole of an old leather shoe
Worn out from all that it’s been drug through
Broken in from being broken in two
left in the cold
Tell me what is faith if you’ve nothing to fear
But I just hope one day it will all be clear
From the smile on my face, to the salt in my tears
The one thing I know
Ain’t life beautiful that way
Just hold a red rose in your hand and be sure to thank the rain
You’d can never know true joy till you truly feel the pain
Ain’t life beautiful that way
Ain’t life beautiful that way,
Ain’t life beautiful that way.
