Break Apart

I just need a rest So, I can pass the test… God will do the rest God will do the rest, So no worries… Get down upon your knees Say please, Lord… Help us lift up a sword And fight out all the depression Yet, we still move on with this tiresome life Oooh…I tried to follow my heart However, things got out of hand… how did we deal with such strife? Oooh… at least it didn’t break apart It didn’t break apart Oh…it didn’t break apart Thank God it didn’t break apart Just like David in the bible… I’ll not give up, though my enemies might crush me Just like Sampson in the bible… I’ll not waver to show off my strength… Do me a favor and release my soul And I don’t wanna go back to my peril Yet, we still move on with this tiresome life Oooh…I tried to follow my heart However, things got out of hand… how did we deal with such strife? Oooh… at least it didn’t break apart It didn’t break apart Oh…it didn’t break apart Thank God it didn’t break apart I want to be free I want to flourish like a sprouting tree That reaches to heaven There’s light at the end of the tunnel… There’s light, even if we’re lost in a darksome pit Yet, we still move on with this tiresome life Oooh…I tried to follow my heart However, things got out of hand… how did we deal with such strife? Oooh… at least it didn’t break apart It didn’t break apart Oh…it didn’t break apart Thank God it didn’t break apart But, I must admit…if you’d listen a minute or two I was in chains…I was in handcuffs Before I figured out that life has meaning But, there’s a part of me That breaks into two And I don’t wanna be sick with the flu Yet, we still move on with this tiresome life Oooh…I tried to follow my heart However, things got out of hand… how did we deal with such strife? Oooh… at least it didn’t break apart It didn’t break apart Oh…it didn’t break apart Thank God it didn’t break apart I just need time off So, I can delete this distress Why do you play so rough? I don’t wanna return to my…hopelessness I want to work harder…to reach for some rope Yet, we still move on with this tiresome life Oooh…I tried to follow my heart However, things got out of hand… how did we deal with such strife? Oooh… at least it didn’t break apart It didn’t break apart Oh…it didn’t break apart You left me hanging…like a hanger on a string I can be a bee… that can sting But, there’s doubt in mind That shatters my hope Yet, we still walk with a somewhat positive approach in life Oooh…I tried to follow my heart However, things did sortah go downhill for us… But God… how did we deal with such strife? Oooh… at least it didn’t break apart It didn’t break apart Oh…it didn’t break apart Yet, we still drive on with this undying life Oooh…I tried to build up self esteem However, things got out of hand… how did we deal with such strife? Oooh… at least it didn’t break apart…I didn’t even scream I didn’t even scream I didn’t even scream Just stay calm, sister… It’s okay to cry… We all do it… But, I don’t know exactly…why… Yet, we still move on with this extremely uncanny life Oooh…I tried to follow my heart However, things got out of hand… how did we deal with such strife? Oooh… at least it didn’t break apart It didn’t break apart Oh…it didn’t break apart Thank God it didn’t break apart Yet, we still work out our problems Oooh…I tried to follow my heart Just keep on pushing that heavy cart But, don’t lose touch with hope – God will lead us to the Promise Land… God will answer our little prayers Oooh… God hears us out… No doubt… No doubt… We were a puzzle, left undone Life is what you call a whole lot of fun… But, look to God and you won’t feel so bad I bet there are so many people out there That aren’t man enough to say that they feel rather sad

Fantastic piece though I know it's a culmination of some bad goings on. Things will eventually work out in the end somehow and I know there are a lot of people around you who will always lend a helping hand..
