I couldn't even count the times
I've had to look away
So you wouldn't see my teardrops fall
Like a river down my face
I'd trade you places if I could
I'd only be too glad
So you could be like all the rest
But it just don't work like that
But there will come a day my friend
All the pain and heartaches end
And the greatest gift we'll ever see
Is when like a bird you'll fly so free
I pray it won't be very long
There'll be no need to sing this song
And we'll laugh at how we used to say
There will come a day
You never stop impressing me
With quiet strength and faith
Living life with your head held high
And a heart so full of grace
I search for rhyme and reason yes
I try to understand
And try not to worry about those things
That are out of our hands
Repeat Chorus
I've had to look away
So you wouldn't see my teardrops fall
Like a river down my face
I'd trade you places if I could
I'd only be too glad
So you could be like all the rest
But it just don't work like that
But there will come a day my friend
All the pain and heartaches end
And the greatest gift we'll ever see
Is when like a bird you'll fly so free
I pray it won't be very long
There'll be no need to sing this song
And we'll laugh at how we used to say
There will come a day
You never stop impressing me
With quiet strength and faith
Living life with your head held high
And a heart so full of grace
I search for rhyme and reason yes
I try to understand
And try not to worry about those things
That are out of our hands
Repeat Chorus
