In the End (Album Version)

In the End - Eric Benet
I heard some news from a friend of mine
Strugglin' with the woes of life
Just broken down as the rain kept steady pourin'
We questioned and we philosophized
But the only truth that we surmised
Is rain will fall so the rose will keep on growing
Sometimes it's hard to understand
How fate can deal with such a heavy hand  yeah
But in the end
You're gonna find that strength that lies within
And in the end
All you need is the comfort of a friend
And in the end
You won't break 'cause you're learning how to bend
And the hand of God will guide you always
In the end
Now I know a woman so abused
By the hands and words her husband used
Till the day would come when she could take no more
With two little girls she was left to feed
She taught them strength and self-esteem
Now she's an inspiration to everyone she meets  yeah
I know that life has a funny way
Of bringing out the best by bringing on the pain
But in the end
A little love's gonna bring you back again
And in the end
Every answer's written on the wind
And in the end
Looking back you can finally understand
He was always there beside you
You'll see
'Cause I know the fight when you struggle every morning
Just to face that world one more day
And you're holding on to life while a northern wind is blowing
Just believe your help is on the way  yes
Oh  in the end
You're gonna find that strength that lies within
And in the end
You're gonna get there no matter where you've been
'Cause in the end
Well  the one truth is love will always win
And the hand of God will guide you
Just believe and let Him in
'Cause in the end
Well  a little love's gonna bring you back again
And in the end
Well  every answer's written on the wind
And in the end
Just look back and I swear you'll understand
He was always there beside you
Yeah
