Lyrics
There's a trail of tears
Behind us
All the wasted years
When the light couldn't find us
In the tempest
Were you with us?
Was it your voice there in the thunder?
And all the anger
Was just an anchor
That kept pulling us under
I cried for help
Nobody heard it
Convinced myself
That I was worthless
The road through hell
Turns out it's worth it
It ain't in vain
When the pain has a purpose
Purpose
The pain has a purpose
Some dreams are lost
And broken
Black and blue
But in you
Hope is golden
Take the weight off
Quiet the chaos
That keeps pushing in on you
Clear-eyed and sober
But the war ain't over
Every day, you start brand-new
I cried for help
Nobody heard it
Convinced myself
That I was worthless
The road through hell
Turns out it's worth it
It ain't in vain
When the pain has a purpose
Oh, the pain has a purpose
In my dreams, there is a gate
There is a city of hope
And all the ones that I love
They're all with me
I'm not alone
I cried for help
Somebody heard it
Convinced myself
I wasn't worthless
The road through hell
Turns out it's worth it
It ain't in vain
When the pain has a purpose
Oh, the pain has a purpose
Yeah. It was worth it
Yeah. It was worth it
Oh, the pain has a purpose
