Jim Chastain - When Everything's Lost (DEMO)

It isn't fair that some have nothing
It isn't fair that I am one
How can it be so
That all these people go
About their lives
When so many people don't?
I wish that God killed for mercy
He kills the ones we need the most
And even when we beg him
To please kill us instead, it
Never makes a difference
When you can make the inference
That God won't hear a
Word that you devote
How does he expect us
To hide the pain
Assume a lesson taught
When everything's lost?
I feel you in my heartbeat
I see you clothed in moonlight
Through darkness creeping
In a grieving mind
I hear your words
Repeated in mine
Carry on
For even when I'm far away
I pray I'll make you strong
Carry on!
Ruth, I am just one man
(I know that this task)
You ask too much of me
(Is much to ask of you)
I know that I'm your only hope
(Carry on)
The only chance you see
(And do what you must do)
But Ruth, how do I begin
To ever understand
(I know that you're one man)
How one night can change a life
And how or why it can
(His life is in your hands…)
Ruth, how do I carry on
With so much on my hands?
Carry on
I'm not so sure I can
For how do I find
Strength in
Knowing you are dead
But never gone
When everything's lost?
It isn't fair the weight you carry
It isn't right the pain I bear
But maybe there's a reason
Like every fleeting season
How all must come and go
For a purpose we won't know
'Til we all journey on
And join her there
She will find a way
To be there in your heart
She will give you strength
Even when you are apart
You will find her when you
Need her most
The memories of her that
You keep close
So while you learned to
Carry on
For a price that
Wasn't worth the cost
Keep her inside your heart
Within your thoughts
When everything's lost
