Can't Take It

(album: Finally Karen - 1997)

[Verse 1:]
I would go on throughout my day,
Thought I was okay,
But I really didn't have commitment.

I was prestige in many eyes,
They didn't see me cry,
I really could hide my torment.

Though it seemed I was fine,
It continued all the time,
I'm only human and the pressure is getting to me.

[Chorus 1:]
I just can't take it no more,
My strength has walked out the door
And it left me and told me I can't go no more.

I just can't take it no more,
Just want to lay down and die,
God, if You hear me, come near me,
You're my only hope.

[Verse 2:]
I wish I had another chance,
I would fervently seek Your hand,
I would've survived the avalanche.

I didn't see the road to take,
So I gave my life away,
And there's no way I can pray from a grave.

Though it seemed I was fine,
It continued all the time,
I'm only human and the pressure is getting to me.

[Chorus 1]

[Bridge:]
Listen to me, You can do all things
If you turn to God, One who made you...

[Chorus 2:]
You've got to take a little more,
Your strength has walked out the door,
And it left you and told you it can't go no more.

You've got to take a little more,
Might want to lay down and die,
Just know God hears you, He's near you,
He's your only hope.
