So many times, I've loved and lost
So many times, I've cried
Yet, every trial was worth the cost
I've moved ahead in stride.
The harder days, while tough to take
Have opened many doors
I've grown because of my heartbreak
I've seen upon life's shore.
So many times, I've grabbed the lead
So many times, I've stumbled
In life, we can't always succeed
The goal is to be humbled.
I've made the most of every hour
I've traveled 'cross the miles
Yet, even when I've lost my power
Tomorrow held a smile.
So many times, I've said goodbye
So many times, I've cried
Yet, when I asked the question "Why?"
Tomorrow was my guide.
The harder days were like a sword
Which cut me to the bone
But, from each one, I found rewards
I've made this life my own.
