If You Ever Wonder

If you ever wonder

Why I smile through the pain

It\'s because I\'ve survived

Every storm and every rain

If you ever wonder

Why I still stand tall

It\'s because every setback

Taught me not to fall

If you ever wonder

Why my faith stays strong

It\'s because I\'ve learned dark nights

Don\'t last long

I\'ve been broken inside

Had my heart denied

But I turned every wound

Into strength and pride

I\'ve been counted right out

Filled with fear and doubt

But I fought through the noise

Till I figured it out

I\'ve seen people leave

Give me reasons to grieve

Yet I found deeper strength

Every time I believed

If you\'re hurting today

And you\'re losing your way

Just remember the night

Cannot endlessly stay

If you\'re carrying pain

That you cannot explain

Hold on tight through the wind

The cold

Bitter rain

Every scar has a place

Every trial a grace

Every loss leaves

Behind wisdom time can\'t erase

Every tear that I cried

Every dream that had died

Helped me find who 

I am waiting deep down inside

So if you ever wonder how 

I made it this far

I kept reaching for hope

Like a wish on a star

And if you ever wonder

What carried me through

I found the strength

I was seeking was already true

If you ever wonder how

I\'ve made it this far

I turned every wound

Into another star
