My Heart Aches

Life can be so hard sometimes trying to survive
How are we ever going to make it to the other side
Sometimes we wander if were going to unravel
After looking at all these roads that we must travel

It's the Peace that we search for but cannot seem to find
We have so many problems going on in this world all the time
Families are torn apart from all the hurt and pain
Everyone around us seems like their going insane

So tell me what are we to do where are we to go
Who can we turn to when there is nothing left to show
The time that we tried over and over again
We found ourselves wrapped up in all this sin

In order for us to see a change take place in our homes
We got to give up what we want and quit letting our hearts roam
So many today only want what's in it for them
Not thinking about others and not even thinking about him

We say that we will be okay but we know that's a lie
So what do we do, we go on each day just barely getting by
Were always living in this world full of heartache and strife
When we should be living for God and loving our enemies and our life
