Sometimes Trouble Is a Gift

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
