I guess we've all been there
Searching for the reasons why
When every dream is shattered
And there's no hope in sight
But when I'm caught in the storms of life
I found one thing is true
If I don't drown in troubled waters
I'll be a better swimmer when I'm through
'Cause you've got to break to mend
You've got to lose to know how to win
It's hard to count your blessings
If you've never started over again
And when you're looking for the bottom
And it's looking like the end
It's a perfect time for beginning
'Cause you've got to break to mend
The young man left his father
Just walked away from home
He spent all he had on good times
But all his good times were gone
He woke up broke and lonely
Remembering a place
Where a Father stands with open arms
And a healing hand of grace
'Cause you've got to break to mend
You've got to lose to know how to win
It's hard to count your blessings
If you've never started over again
And when you're looking for the bottom
And it's looking like the end
It's a perfect time for beginning
'Cause you've got to break to mend
And when you're looking for the bottom
And it's looking like the end
It's a perfect time for beginning
'Cause you've got to break to mend
