Ain't It Something

I know the way our stories like to unfold
Keeps us walking on the tip of our toes
Life is full of surprise

And as a boy-child
Chasing fantasy of true love
I never thought that I'd be chewed up
By an ending so wild

Ain't it something not to know
Ain't it something not to see
What they never teach in school
How to roll up both your sleeves
When the wild side of life
Keeps you crying on your knees
Ain't it something not to know
And despite it, still believe

Save me
Set my mind on something holy
'Cause this ground is shaking under my feet
My faith is good as gone

Won't you raise me
So won't you raise me
I never thought I'd walk this valley
Well, ain't it something how we break in the breeze
Well, I don't wanna break that way

So ain't it something not to know
Ain't it something not to see
What they never teach in school
How to roll up both your sleeves
When the wild side of life
Keeps you crying on your knees
Ain't it something not to know
And despite it, still believe

I wanna believe
I wanna believe
Whether I know the road or I'm drifting at sea
I wanna believe
I wanna believe
That I'm never alone
That you will never leave
I wanna believe

Ain't it something not to know
Ain't it something not to see
What they never teach in school
How to roll up both your sleeves
When the wild side of life
Keeps you crying on your knees
Ain't it something not to know
And despite it, still believe
And despite it, still believe
