Be grateful for the dark days

And when one comes in sight

Don't waste your time in wondering

When life will turn out right.

 

Be grateful for the dark days

And when one comes along

Forget about despairing

Over how it all went wrong

 

Be grateful for the dark days

They're made to make you glad

When everything about them

Makes you think you should be sad

 

Be grateful for the dark days

The dark days never last

They come to help remind you

That the bad times are soon past

 

Be grateful for the dark days

They're just a passing test

As sure as night gives way to day

They take you to the best

 

Be grateful for the dark days

They're quickly out of sight

Why waste your time in worry

When you're led towards the light
