Beauty in the Struggle

Song by

Bryan Martin

She's as real as it gets and there ain't no way around it
There's a road that's been through hell and she's been down it
She's been mistreated, she's been lied to, she's seen her share of trouble
But that girl, she's the beauty in this trouble

'Cause she ain't all about herself
She ain't one to ask for help
She's that diamond that you find when you've been left behind
You're sifting through the rubble
Yeah, that girl, she's the beauty in the struggle

She carries a weight that most could never handle
Picking up the pieces of a heart that's been dismantled
She's a good friend, she's a fighter, she's watched her whole world crumble
But that girl, she's the beauty in the struggle

She ain't all about herself
She ain't one to ask for help
She's that diamond that you find when you've been left behind
You're sifting through the rubble
Yeah, that girl, she's the beauty in the struggle

She ain't all about herself
She ain't one to ask for help
She's that diamond that you find when you've been left behind
You're sifting through that rubble
Yeah, that girl, she's the beauty in the struggle

She's the beauty in the struggle

Beauty in the Struggle

Hubby and I are on our way to my parents’ place to help my mom with some chores after her knee surgery. He turns up the radio and says, “This song fits you to a T.” He’s told me this many times before, but this time, it hit me differently. I'm already stressed to the max with life’s struggles, health issues, moving, finding another job, hubby’s upcoming surgery, organizing a baby shower, and all the chaos of world events and a struggling economy that doesn’t seem to be improving anytime soon. I just broke down in tears. But it was a good cry. I needed it.

When I hear this song, I feel like it truly describes me and my life almost perfectly. I am so lucky to have this man in my life and in my kids’ lives. He has always had an amazing outlook. Always positive, always hopeful. I need that because I tend to lean toward the negative sometimes. It’s something I struggle with and am actively working on.

I’ll just leave the lyrics to the song here. It’s such a beautiful song.
