It Wasn't For Nothing

I see you running in place A desperate getaway Another sunrise Another sunset Another long day It's all the same Remember those tears you cried I counted them every night Losing your sleep Losing your peace Might feel lost But not on me Look at me, lean in close Child I need you to know It wasn't for nothing The pain and the waiting I heard when you called me I promise I'm using The hurt and the heartache For who you're becoming So you can look back and say It wasn't for nothing Have you been losing sight Fear is running 'round your mind Chasing you down Feeding you lies Telling you I'm not on your side But don't you give up on me I'm doing things you can't see Healing your heart Building your faith Restoring your hope For greater things When people see you now They're gonna know just how It wasn't for nothing The pain and the waiting I heard when you called me I promise I'm using The hurt and the heartache For who you're becoming So you can look back and say It wasn't for nothing It wasn't for nothing Someone will need to know Your story down the road So you look at them and say It wasn't for nothing The pain and the waiting God heard when you called him Just know that he's using The hurt and the heartache For who you're becoming So you can look back and say It wasn't for nothing It wasn't for nothing It wasn't for nothing It wasn't for nothing
