I can't say that I've had the best of luck
Or that I won every time
I can't say I overcame every temptation
But I know I've never stopped trying
In my time, I've had my share of sorrows
But I never lost hope, there's a light I can see
The greatest trial
The greatest of all
Still lies before me.
Many times, the wind ripped at the rooftops
But mine always held, and still stands
The wind broke other lives into fragments
But that was in faraway lands
I stood there myself
And it blew right through me
So strong that I felt I would freeze
But the greatest storm
The greatest of all
Still lies before me.
And as the river came over its bank
And I watched it on TV
It didn't sweep my belongings away
But it's never come closer to me
So far I've always been lucky
I've always found a sheltering tree
The greatest flood
The greatest of all
Still lies before me.
The greatest flood
The greatest of all
Still lies before me.
