I went looking for answers today But instead I found Your hand You said, Come with me Though you may not see From the wounds of grief Grows a sturdy tree In your tears In your toil I am tending to the soil In your doubts And in your pain Every drought And drop of rain Is not in vain It's not in vain You said, Come with me Though you may not see From the wounds of grief Grows a sturdy tree In your tears In your toil I am tending to the soil In your doubts And in your pain Every drought And drop of rain Is not in vain It's not in vain
