Here are the lyrics...

By the River Piedra I sat down and wept
And mourned for a Beauty that I hadn't met
And I prayed to a God that I wasn't sure heard
And I asked for the patience to keep waiting for Her

It's been such a long road

But she's worth fighting for
'Til the battles have all been won
She's worth all the pain
That's been racing through my blood
She's worth every tear
That's been teaching me to live
And she's worth all the love
That my Sacred heart can give
She's worth fighting for
She's worth fighting for

By the River Piedra I dreamed for awhile
I saw a Vision of Beauty with a mysterious smile
So I asked for Her name as She was fading away
She said I'm "One Day, But Not Yet", but it will all be worth the wait

And she's worth fighting for
'Til the battles have all been won
She's worth all the pain
That's been racing through my blood
She's worth every tear
That's been teaching me to live
And she's worth all the love
That my Sacred heart can give
She's worth fighting for
She's worth fighting for

Though sometimes when I'm alone
I wish that I was stone
I wish that I was stronger than
My heart of glass and bone
So I fake another smile
And I hide another sigh
And though sometimes I feel like giving up
I won't run away and hide

'Cause I know
'Cause I know

That she's worth fighting for
'Til the battles have all been won
She's worth all the pain
That's been racing through my blood
She's worth every tear
That's been teaching me to live
And she's worth all the love
That my Sacred heart can give
She's worth fighting for
She's worth fighting for
She's worth fighting for
She's worth fighting for
