Misery Can Give Good Things

Misery can give a lot of good things If you carry your load and see what it brings If really nothing is rejected Along the way you will meet much unexpected Maybe someone who proves to be a friend Who stands by you and lends you a hand Who hears your sorrows and quietly understands Who cares for you so your pains will mend Misery can give a lot of good things If you carry your load and see what it brings But if you resist, self-pity is all you feel Your burden heavier, your pains won't heal You'll miss all the help that comes to you You won't see the good things you still can do Misery can give a lot of good things If you carry your load and see what it brings If you move with the winds that come on your way That push you forward or lead you astray You will meet forces till then hidden inside That turn darkness into shining light And make your life an advénture again Inspiring others who need a helping hand Misery can give a lot of good things! If you carry your load and see what it brings But when things get too hard, too hard to meet Bad news that blows you off your feet Take the hands that reach out to you They may help you with the last things you have to do So misery can give a lot of good things If you carry your load and see what it brings If really nothing is rejected Along your way you will meet much, much unexpected
