[Intro]
[Verse]
After the darkness of a night
There is sunrise of new daylight
After the thorns of a rose bush
The beauty of fresh roses
[Verse1]
After the thunderstorms of rain
A bright rainbow lights the plain
After a dull winter season
Beautiful spring flowers bloom with reason
[Pre-Chorus]
If there is no light without darkness first
No victory without war to quench the thirst
No tomorrow without the end of today
No freedom without a struggle in the fray
[Chorus]
No success without trials and tests
Surely there is no Heaven without Earth's quests
For the joy of a newborn baby
There are labor pains that seem so crazy
[Verse2]
For the delight of an evening meal
Man toils and tills the land with zeal
For the joy of a better tomorrow
There is suffering of a difficult today’s sorrow
[Bridge]
For gold to get its value
It first passes through fire’s view
For honey to gain its sweetness
It is taken from bees with completeness
[Chorus]
For tomorrow to be great
It is first unpleasant today
For life to be wonderful in Heaven
It is first tough on earth, a lesson given
[Post-Chorus]
Greatness awaits in Heaven
But not before trouble on earth
Glory awaits in Heaven
But not before shame gives birth
[Final-Chorus]
Joy and pure delight await
But not before pain and suffering’s weight
Heaven awaits, but not before Earth
Heaven awaits
[Outro]
Hold on
It might be hard
There is a reward
One more time
Greatness awaits
