Every great story that's ever been told has a hero
Who would've been ordinary except for they endured the impossible
Maybe this moment that we're in isn't really that much different
One day we'll look back from afar
It will have made us who we are

[Pre-Chorus:]
Maybe this flood that's crushing in
Will be the very thing that makes us feel alive when we've survived

[Chorus:]
I know how the story ends and it's good
It's good
So much better than the way it all began
Oh but, I know it gets rough in the middle
Swimming up a stream, surviving seems impossible
But I know that's what makes the end so good

At the end of disaster it's so hard to imagine
That we'll stand again
Underneath all these ashes it's so hard to breathe in
'Cause the air's so thin
Maybe this tragedy will find us
Spared from it's hands in the nick of time
We'll come out on the other side

[Pre-Chorus:]
Maybe this flood that's crushing in
Will be the very thing that makes us feel alive when we've survived

[Chorus:]
I know how the story ends and it's good
It's good
So much better than the way it all began
Oh but, I know it gets rough in the middle
Swimming up a stream, surviving seems impossible
But I know that's what makes the end so good

Hold on, these momentary troubles they won't last always
Oh, hold on
The Author of your story had the end in mind when He wrote this page
This overwhelming fight and adversity
Is the very thing that could make heroes out of you and me

[Chorus:]
I know how the story ends and it's good
It's good
So much better than the way it all began
Oh but, I know it gets rough in the middle
Swimming up a stream, surviving seems impossible
But I know that's what makes the end so good
