A life ain't a

enough to bury
my soul
Weight of the
world, I gotta
carry my own
My own, with t
hese songs I c

I'm right here
when you scar
ed and alone
And I ain't ne

You don't ever
gotta worry
Even when it's

time is runnin
' low
When your hear
t get cold
See what's beh
ind all them u
nturned stones
And I'm a pro
when it come t
o my job
But really I'm
just tryna st
art believin'
in God
Now when it ge

I don't panic,
I don't sound
the alarm
[Chorus]
Because I don'

take a breath
and ease my mi
nd, and
She don't cry
