Part of the Story

This is the part of the story
Where all of the hope seems gone
The hero's been marred
There’s a sense of betrayal
The enemy's power has shone

This is the part of the story
We weep and we mourn what is lost
We look where we've been
We search deep within
And ask 'Was it all worth the cost?'

This is the part of the story
The part that is hardest to bare
The part where the questions
They outway the answers
The burdens too numerous to share

But we know the end of the story
We know that all hope’s never gone
The hero’s restored
He gets his reward
The battle’s eventually won

We know at the end of the story
Recovered is all that was lost
The tears are replaced
The pain is erased
We know it was all worth the cost

We know at the end of the story
We’re glad that we held on to see
The anticipation
The sense of elation
Far more than we thought it could be!
