My Pillow

everything going on all around me
 I'm getting dizzy
need some relief
  I believe in you
     come through
       for me
   I see so much
     everyday
   my stomach turns sour
    and my nerves begin to fray
 I know my God didn't design His world
     this way
oh, make it go
  make it all go
    away
I'm so very tired
  be my pillow

the tears
 are a flood
and I can't swim
  I reach for your hand
 on a whim
  you can't save me
 but I know
  you'd like to try
just hold me until
  the water is dry
 I know my God didn't design His world
   this way
oh, make it go
  make it all go
    away
I'm so very tired...
   stay.
