I look back on the warmth of the road

Storms that have passed driving so low

Know there ' s still long way to go

And maybe some darken days

And I ' m gonna be down with nothing to lose

And there ' s gonna be clouds but the sun will break through

I have no doubt and the sky is turning blue I ' ll be able to say

Ain ' t life beautiful that way

Just hold a red rose in your hand

And be sure to thank the rain

You can never know true joy

Till you truly feel the pain

Ain ' t life beautiful that way

My heart ' s like the sole of an old leather shoe

One out from all that it ' s been dragged through

Broken end from being broken in two

Lifted the cold

Tell me what is faith it ain ' t nothing to fear

I hope one day it all will be clear

From the smile on my face to the salt of my tears

The one thing I know

Ain ' t life beautiful that way

Just hold a red rose in your hand

And be sure to thank the rain

You can never know true joy

Till you truly feel the pain

Ain ' t life beautiful that way

No you never know true joy

Till you truly feel the pain

Ain ' t life beautiful that way
