You keep telling me that you're struggling
I just don't know if that's such a bad thing
No, no, no but you keep telling me that you're struggling
I just don't know if that's such a bad thing
No, no, no but you say

Lord, I'm like a flickering wick
I'm like a broken reed
I'm like a ship storm-tossed and rocked upon the sea
I'm like a mountain torn in two by an earthquake
I look inside and all I see is just this heartache
So my soul keeps praying from the crucible fire
Through this night like Jacob did at Antioch
Struggling oh God
Can't you see that I'm struggling
And you keep telling me that you're struggling

Struggling
I just don't know if that's such a bad thing
Such a bad thing
No, no, no but you keep telling me that you're struggling
Struggling
I just don't know if that's such a bad thing
Such a bad thing
No, no, no
You see child

Every good thing is born of a struggle
Singing every good thing is born of a struggle
Every truly good thing is born of a struggle
Singing every good thing is born of a struggle
Every truly good thing is born of a struggle my child
My child

And I wouldn't leave you in this heartache
If it was all for nothing
Wouldn't leave you in this struggle
If I didn't see something being born in you
So beautiful and so true
Like a statue of David chiseled away and never fade
There's a new child rising
New life shining in your face and your pain
And your everything if you only knew, child
What I see in you child I think you wanted to
But I'm proud of you child as you struggle through
Yes, I'm proud of you child as you struggle through
Yeah, just remember

Every good thing is born of a struggle
Singing, every good thing is born of a struggle
Every truly good thing is born of a struggle my child
Sing with me now
Every good thing is born of a struggle
Singing every good thing is born of a struggle
Every truly good thing is born of a struggle my child
Well I guess I'll keep on struggling

Struggling

Such a bad thing

Struggling
