Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some say don't give up
And hope that your good is good enough
Head down, keep on working
If you can earn it, you deserve it
Some say push on through
After all, it's the least that you can do
But don't buy what they're selling
Couldn't be further from the truth
[Verse 2]
What if I were the one to tell you
That the fight's already been won?
Well, I think your day's about to get better
What if I were the one to tell you
That the work's already been done?
It's not good news, it's the best news ever
[Verse 3]
Some say don't ask for help
God helps the ones who help themselves
So press on, get it right
Otherwise, get left behind
Some say He's keeping score
So try hard then try a little more
But hold up, if this were true
Explain to me what the cross is for
[Verse 4]
What if I were the one to tell you
That the fight's already been won?
Well, I think your day's about to get better
What if I were the one to tell you
That the work's already been done?
It's not good news, it's the best news ever
Best news ever
[Verse 5]
So won't you come
Come all you weary and you burdened
You heavy-laid and then you hurting
For all of you with nothing left
Come and find rest
(What if I?)
[Verse 6]
What if I were the one to tell you
That the fight's already been won?
Well, I think your day's about to get better
What if I were the one to tell you
That the work's already been done?
It's not good news, it's the best news ever
Best news ever
[Verse 7]
It's not good news, it's the best news ever
Best news ever
It's not good news, it's the best news ever
