Trials And Tears Lyrics & Chords By Lee Koch

If only I could hold my breath longer, I would stay under water til my troubles were gone Then I would come up to the surface, take a look at this earth and realize what went wrong Wouldn't it be nice to have something that would always give comfort In the time of your pain Then you wouldn't have to rely on someone else's advice You could just keep on living in your dream Oh but it's not that easy, folks it's plain to see that there's no simple way around Yes the cards were dealt no matter how you felt about playin the game So when the hard times come, you've just got to stand strong Don't let temptation win your heart It's the honest man who's gonna make a stand no matter what the cost Imagine if our lives were all perfect, not a single disturbance or a tragic event Everything would go real smooth, just like a pleasurable cruise without a bump or a bend Sure that would be awfully convenient, but then what is the meaning for the lives that we spend We've got to persevere through the trials and tears and find our hope in the end Because it's not that easy, folks it's plain to see that there's no simple way around Yes the cards were dealt no matter how you felt about playin the game So when the hard times come, you've just got to stand strong Don't let temptation win your heart And that's what sets the chosen apart Because it's not that easy, folks it's plain to see that there's no simple way around Yes the cards were dealt no matter how you felt about playin the game
