Its not yours to take
I heard the news last night
it got me thinking about a time
when all this
seemed like a myth
when i read the headlines
without a difference to my life
now its too close to home
runs a chill through my bones
its too close to the heart
don't know if i can still fight
when you talk of such ridiculous nonsense
claiming to be alone
with no friends to help
i mean woman what am i?
i have done whats within my power
i will gladly do it again
i just wish you would understand
this is not your decision to make
it's not yours to take
your journey is just beginning
why end it before it's prime?
times are rough
unbearable at best
its just a phase
a passing stage
one you will look back on and smile
coz you would have made it through alright
having learned your strengths.
Finally seeing
the beautiful person you are
created in His image
i heard the news last night
i got such a fright
coz i know you might
However, its not yours to take
was never yours in the first place
it got me thinking about a time
when all this
seemed like a myth
when i read the headlines
without a difference to my life
now its too close to home
runs a chill through my bones
its too close to the heart
don't know if i can still fight
when you talk of such ridiculous nonsense
claiming to be alone
with no friends to help
i mean woman what am i?
i have done whats within my power
i will gladly do it again
i just wish you would understand
this is not your decision to make
it's not yours to take
your journey is just beginning
why end it before it's prime?
times are rough
unbearable at best
its just a phase
a passing stage
one you will look back on and smile
coz you would have made it through alright
having learned your strengths.
Finally seeing
the beautiful person you are
created in His image
i heard the news last night
i got such a fright
coz i know you might
However, its not yours to take
was never yours in the first place
