I heard some news from a friend of mine Strugglin' with the woes of life Just broken down as the rain kept steady pourin' We questioned and we philosophized But the only truth that we surmised Is rain will fall so the rose will keep on growing Sometimes it's hard to understand How fate can deal with such a heavy hand But in the end You're gonna find that strength that lies within And in the end All you need is the comfort of a friend And in the end You won't break 'cause you're learning how to bend And the hand of God will guide you always In the end Now I know a woman so abused By the hands and words her husband used Till the day would come when she could take no more With two little girls she was left to feed She taught them strength and self-esteem Now she's an inspiration to everyone she meets I know that life has a funny way of bringing out the best By bringing on the pain But in the end A little love's gonna bring you back again And in the end Every answer's written on the wind And in the end Looking back you can finally understand He was always there beside you You'll see 'Cause I know the fight when you struggle every morning Just to face that world one more day And you're holding on to life while a northern wind is blowing Just believe your help is on the way Oh in the end You're gonna find that strength that lies within And in the end You're gonna get there no matter where you've been 'Cause in the end, well The one truth is love will always win And the hand of God will guide you Just believe and let Him in 'Cause in the end, well A little love's gonna bring you back again And in the end, well Every answer's written on the wind And in the end Just look back and I swear you'll understand He was always there beside you I heard some news from a friend of mine
