I know there are better things in store for you
Than anything that I could ever be
And I know that I was never meant for you
And you were never really meant for me
But you know that I will always raise you up
In the good times and when the dark won't fade
And I know that you will always lift me up
In the darkest of days
And you know that I'll be here for you
No matter what may pass
And I'll keep on hoping that for you
The good times always last
I hope that things work out for you
And that life is always grand
Cause life is such a fickle thing
It'll change like shifting sand
And I pray that your life won't ever get you down
And if it does that you'll keep on keepin' on
And I pray that heaven will smile down on you
It's blessings shining down like radiant dawn
So my heartfelt happiness for all you'll do
And all that you were destined to become
And you know I wish you the best of everything
Keep marching to the beat of your own drum
And you know that I'll be here for you
No matter what may pass
And I'll keep on hoping that for you
The good times always last
I hope that things work out for you
And that life is always grand
Cause life is such a fickle thing
It'll change like shifting sand
I hope that things work out for you
And that life is always grand
Cause life is such a fickle thing
It'll change like shifting sand
And you know that I'll be here for you
No matter what may pass
And I'll keep on hoping that for you
The good times always last
