Levon Helm - Heaven's PearlsLyrics

Life's a strain of painful things to be overcome We mark the mile by our trials and suffer everyone But hold them near and keep them dear and don't be ashamed Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls We gather scars from tangled bars that catch under the skin The friction burns as they turn working deeper in But day by day sharp edges fade, smooth, burnished and fine Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls
