Sometimes trouble is a gift You don't see that way at the time Your heart is broken, your heart is dying Sometimes trouble is a gift Sometimes the hardest way to go Is the way that sets you free, unlocks the door to you and me Sometimes it's just the hardest way to go Sometimes the only thing to do is work Pick up a shovel, pick up the mess Work out in the wood until it's time to come back Sometimes the only thing to do is work Sometimes you just cannot look back The safe life lessons are learned from the past Winds of change blow by so fast Sometimes you just cannot look back Sometimes trouble is a gift Out of the darkness, into the light After the longest winter's night Sometimes trouble is a gift
