[Verse 1] I came in bent and bruised with rain on my sleeves A pocket full of broken plans and barely any leaves The road looked mean and empty the kind that tests your name But even the hard ground taught me how to stand back up again [Pre-Chorus] And I swore I’d lost my way in the ruin and the cost Then the night kept turning like a lantern in the frost [Chorus] Sometimes the bad things lead to the best things Sometimes the scar becomes the sign I've learned more from pain than I could've ever learned from pleasure life's greatest lessons are usually learned at the worst times and from the worst mistakes (worst mistakes) [Verse 2] The door slammed hard in my face the kind that shakes your bones I sat with my silence there until it turned to stone Then a stranger shared a table and gave me bread and truth Said wounds can grow a mapline if you let them work on you [Pre-Chorus] So I kept my head low and I kept my hands in prayer One seed at a time I found a green world waiting there [Chorus] Sometimes the bad things lead to the best things Sometimes the scar becomes the sign I've learned more from pain than I could've ever learned from pleasure life's greatest lessons are usually learned at the worst times and from the worst mistakes (worst mistakes) [Bridge] If you’re in the ash right now and nothing feels like grace Hold on to the small bright part that the dark cannot erase What broke you can still bless you what fell can feed the ground The poorest road I ever walked led me where I am now [Final Chorus] Sometimes the bad things lead to the best things Sometimes the scar becomes the sign I've learned more from pain than I could've ever learned from pleasure life's greatest lessons are usually learned at the worst times and from the worst mistakes (worst mistakes)
