It's only through mistakes we make
We learn where we went wrong.
It's only when we're far from home
We realize where we belong.
It's only when we close our eyes
Our dreams seem clear and bright.
It's only in our darkest hours
We truly see the light.
It's only when we lose our way
We pray to the stars above.
It's only through times of grief
We learn the true meaning of love.
It's only when all hope seems lost
And our weary journey seems so far,
When all the world's against you,
We learn how strong we really are.
All things are sent to try us.
We must strive and give our best.
I believe God is watching over us,
And he guides us in our quest.
