Good Things Always Are

The medicine doesn't work
she doesn't want to take it
he cannot be strong enough
for both of them
when she wants to give up
and he needs her to make it
he's given her his love
he did not understand

how hard this could be
good things always are

\"all my life\" the old man said
\"I've been sitting here
feelings like a pinwheel
motion with no journey
waiting for my innocence
to come back to me
but Eleanor was right
there is more than waiting,
there's working for the
changes that I see\"

andhow hard this could be
good things always are

like sons in Tailand
Veronicas in kindergarten
children waiting to be raised
my neighbors who bug me
my wife who says she loves me
but I can't stay the same

how hard this could be
good things always are

but they are worth it
every tear, every sleepless night
every bruise
every wounded pride
every day where you've
lifted your eyes
where does my help come from?
where does my help come from?
