Every wicked thing I've ever done
Every single sin I've stumbled on
Every blackened piece of bitterness
Mended with a shard of tenderness

All of this
Was wonderful and worth the heartache
All of this
Was beautiful and full of light
All of this
Was everything I ever hoped for
All of this
Was life

Every time I drank myself to God
Every time I fell and got back up
Every lie that twisted back my tongue
Every time I lost and never won

All of this
Was wonderful and worth the heartache
All of this
Was beautiful and full of light
All of this
Was everything I ever hoped for
All of this
Was life

Everything must change and so it does
Everything that's good inside of us
Every fading hope will find its way
Every dying wish will see the light of day

All of this
Was wonderful and worth the heartache
All of this
Was beautiful and full of light
All of this
Was everything I ever hoped for
All of this
Was life
