A Grief Observed

It's a grief observed

And the problem is the problem of pain

We've lost our faith

And we point the blame to the grave...



... When all has slipped away



You took my love

You took my health

"Why not take all of me

Why not take all of me", he said

'Cause either way I win



If this is perceived just by what is seen

I'll never come to believe That such a hardship

Goes so far beyond me so unexpected, but in retrospect

I know it's all for good



It'd be so easy to turn your face today

When everything you have is swiftly ripped away

But because your faith is the lense through which you see

You press on, you stand tall for all to see



Only torture, only torment

Will bring out the truth in such a man



I know it's all for good
