The Martins
There’s Not a Crown
To every life
There comes the questions of the heart
For extraordinary pain
Struggle greets you
On the mountains that you climb
A war within the soul
For every step you gain
Remember when
The winds of sorrow strike you down
And leave you hopeless and afraid
The proof of battle
Is the wounds that you will bear
The scars that build you strong
For the journey that you make
There's not a victory without a fight
There's not a sunrise without a night
There's not a purchasе without a cost
There's not a crown without a cross
No greatеr anguish
Ever came upon a man
Than when the Son of Glory died
The sins of all us
Were nails that pierced His hands
An act of sacrifice
The pain within the price
His crown was fashioned
From His suffering and travail
Shone like the sun when He arose
He showed us triumph
Even when all hope was lost
He carried out a plan
So that every man will know
There's not a victory without a fight
There's not a sunrise without a night
There's not a purchase without a cost
There's not a crown without a cross
God will guide you
When you're clinging to His hand
Strength will find you
When you learn how to stand
To persevere to the end
There's not a victory without a fight
Oh, there's not a sunrise without a night
There's not a purchase without a cost
There's not a crown without a cross
There's not a crown without a cross
