Heaven's Pearls

Life's a strain of painful things to be overcome

We mark the mile by our trials and suffer everyone

But hold them near and keep them dear and don't be ashamedTrials of the world are all heaven's pearls

Trials of the world are all heaven's pearlsWe gather scars from tangled bars that catch under the skin

The friction burns as they turn working deeper in

But day by day sharp edges fade, smooth, burnished and fineTrials of the world are all heaven's pearls

Trials of the world are all heaven's pearlsTrials of the world are all heaven's pearls

Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls
