I keep looking for the sunny side of life
I keep fighting through the wrong to find the right
Every door I find is locked, there ain't no window, ain't no gate
Good things come to those who wait
Well I can't see the sunshine for the rain
And I can't feel the pleasure for the pain
The devil's got a hook but I ain't biting on that bait
Good things come to those who wait
So I'ma keep believing, keep pulling on that string
'Cause one of these days I'm gonna find my good thing
And I'ma leave this mean ol' world, better than when I came
And one of these days I'm gonna find my good thing
Daddy told me there'd be hurtin' times like this
But you don't really listen when you're a kid
Now I'm reaching in for some patience and some faith
Good things come to those who wait
And I'ma keep believing, keep pulling on that string
'Cause one of these days I'm gonna find my good thing
And I'ma leave this mean ol' world, better than when I came
And one of these days I'm gonna find my good thing
Yeah man, I'm gonna rise up
These hands are gonna climb up
Gonna get unstuck, outta this rut
If you don't run, you're gonna rust
So I'ma keep believing, keep pulling on that string
'Cause one of these days I'm gonna find my good thing
And I'ma leave this mean ol' world, better than when I came
And one of these days I'll find my good thing
Good things come to those who wait
Good things come to those who wait
