If I had my way, I must admit If I called every play of the game I'd pray for good times, blue ky and sunshine And I'd avoid with a passion any pain But with every blow from an engry wind And with every dark shadow that falls There's a better view up around the bend Where this puzzle makes some sense after all Mistakes and misfortunes will come and go For you to try and still fail is no disgrace Sometimes a rough and rocky road Is gonna take you to a beautiful place Is there anyone out there looking back through your faith That can deny that your Father knows what's best Oh but at the time and place for the life of you You saw no reason, no good for the test But now remembering as you watched His hand Put the color to your black and white dreams Maybe one more time past what you can see Oh the trouble of the moment ain't as bad as it seems Sometimes the unspoiled beauty of the wisdom of God Is lying there in the wilderness Up there beyond the easy reach Where the journey takes a little more, Just a little more faith I guess
