Then You Rejoice

Another mountain rises, blocking out the sun

The race is never-ending, and the battles just begun

You’re running on empty, your feet are made of stone

And in the quiet shadows, you feel you're all alone

The bills are stacking higher, the promises are frail

It feels like every effort is destined just to fail

Chorus

But life is hard, oh, it's hard, but then you rejoice

You find a little courage and you lift up your voice

Gratitude is such a fateful choice

The storm will lose its fury, the heavy clouds will part

Joy is coming quietly to heal a weary heart

Yeah, life is hard, but then you rejoice

The promises are broken, the plans have fallen through

You trusted in the journey, but it turned its back on you

It’s heavy on your spirit, it’s heavy on your mind

Leaving all the pieces of your shattered dreams behind

But listen to the rhythm of the rising of the tide

There’s beauty in the breaking that you cannot hide

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

The winter only stays until the spring decides to bloom

You couldn’t see the morning if you didn’t know the gloom

So let the tears fall freely, let the old ache pass away

You’re stronger than the sorrow, and you’ll make it to the day

Where the sun is shining brightly, and the sorrow is outgrown

Look at how you made it, look at how you've grown 

Repeat Chorus
