We would have a hard time being good people if we had everything we want.
Wandering far and fading with time, we can't just let them go.
Story behind the song
This song was inspired by my girlfriend (who recently became my wife). She and her family have been through a lot, things I can't even imagine. This song was meant to remind her that tough times have made her the wonderful, Godly woman that she is. True character and integrity are earned, and faith is built on brokenness. It's when you no longer have a leg to stand on that you really start depending on God (and experiencing His love and miraculous power and peace).
Lyrics
A tear may water
the seed of what you need,
for which you'd do anything.
Sometimes some things
are worth a scraped up knee,
or may even merit dying.
Hang on, Hang on.
You'll understand what's happening someday.
And it's wonderful.
You'd like to think
that some dreams come easy,
but that doesn't seem to be.
Everything worthy
will force you to your knees...
God meets you on your knees.
It may take a little time,
but your dreams will be realized.
Have faith when it's not easy,
and you'll get your happy ending.
