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
