Wayne Watson - The Ones Left Standing lyrics

Who on earth could ever explain The great mysteries of life Or the mournful and untimely face of d**h But as long as we remain We grow better, even stronger Though we'll never be the same 'Cause the ones left standing Have to cry all the tears And replay all the memories The good and bad from the years And we shoulder the weight Of the work left to be done And the ones left standing carry on The peace of God will abide In the season of our sorrow In the valley of a pain we can't describe In the palm of His hand Is a shelter from the madness We can never really understand 'Cause the ones left standing Have to cry all the tears And replay all the memories The good and bad from the years And we shoulder the weight Of the work left to be done And the ones left standing carry on And in eternity When all the mysteries are gone It will be clear That it was our God keeping us strong 'Cause the ones left standing Have to cry all the tears And replay all the memories The good and bad from the years And we shoulder the weight Of the work left to be done And the ones left standing carry on And we shoulder the weight Of the work left to be done And the ones left standing carry on Carry on
