she lays in bed at night
and no one wants to come
the thought of things being wonderful
circling in her head
the things will never be that way
it seems in her lifetime
her daddy just has ran away
not leaving them a dime
and i know that life is hard
but things all change
and the bad times are gonna come
but there's one thing that remains
and that's the father and his love
and thought the wind blows
the anchor will hold you through
the wind and stormy times
i put my trust in you
to get me through
so things can be wonderful wonderful
he lays in pain again
in a hospital bed
the news is bad
the doctor says
the cancer spread
the thought of things being wonderful
is all but now deceased
soon heavans gates will open wide
bringing him to peace
and i know that life is hard
but things all change
and the bad times are gonna come
but there's one thing that remains
and that's the father and his love
and thought the wind blows
the anchor will hold you through
the wind and stormy times
i put my trust in you
to get me through
so things can be wonderful wonderful
couldn't things just be
couldn't things just be wonderful
(musical break)
and i know that life is hard
but things all change
and the bad times are gonna come
but there's one thing that remains
and that's the father and his love
and thought the wind blows
the anchor will hold you through
the wind and stormy times
i put my trust in you
to get me through
so things can be wonderful
things be wonderful
couldn't things be wonderful
