Some say, "Don't give up" And hope that your good is good enough Head down, keep on working If you could earn it, you deserve it Some say, "Push on through" After all, it's the least that you can do But don't buy, what they're selling It couldn't be further from the truth What if I were the one to tell you That the fight's already been won Well, I think your day's about to get better What if I were the one to tell you That the work's already been done It's not good news It's the best news ever Some say, "Don't ask for help" God helps the ones who help themselves Press on, get it right Otherwise, get left behind Some say, "He's keeping score" So try hard, then try and lean on God Hold up, if this weren't true Explain to me, what the cross is for What if I were the one to tell you That the fight's already been won Well, I think your day's about to get better What if I were the one to tell you That the work's already been done It's not good news It's the best news ever Best news ever So won't you come Come all you weary and your burdened You heavy laden and you hurting For all of you with nothing left Come and find rest What if I were the one to tell you That the fight's already been won Well, I think your day's about to get better What if I were the one to tell you That the work's already been done It's not good news It's the best news ever Best news ever It's not good news It's the best news ever Best news ever It's not good news It's the best news ever
