This Thing Is Not Going to Break You - Christa Wells

You could not plan for this

No there was no silhouette

Up against the pink horizon

To warn you of the hit

But you absorbed it all with grace

Like a child you spoke of faith unmoved

That holds onto you

This thing is going to try to break you

But it doesn't have to

You're showing us how

This thing is gonna bend and shape you

But he won't let it take you

You know it somehow

This thing is not gonna break you

You could take your loss

You could hide away from us

With your grief lassoed around you

But you're laying it in the sun

And you stare straight into the light

You say you'd rather go blind than look away

What can I say

This thing is gonna try to break you

But it doesn't have to

You're showing us how

This thing is gonna bend and shape you

But he won't let it take you

You know it somehow

This thing is not gonna break you

This thing is not gonna break you

This thing is not gonna break you

It doesn't have to

You're showing us how

This thing is gonna bend and shape you

But he won't let it take you

You know it somehow

This thing is not gonna break you

This thing is not gonna break you

This thing is not gonna break you
