My heart can't hold this heavy load
My heart can't hold this heavy load no more
My hands can't lift this weight up off
My hands can't lift this weight up off my home
So I look to the hills for
I can't help but wonder
What if
This is not the ending
What if
You've got something working
What if
There's an answer coming
What if... There's something I don't know
My tears won't stop falling down
My tears won't stop falling down every night
I try but can't find words to pray
I try but can't find words to pray this time
So I look to the hills for
I can't help but wonder
What if
This is not the ending
What if
You've got something working
What if
There's an answer coming
What if... There's something I don't know
And I know you're working
You never, ever ever stop working
Even when I can't see the ending
As long as I'm breathing, You're working
I know you're working
You never, ever every stop working
Even when I can't see the ending
As long as I'm breathing, You're working
This is not the ending
You've got something working
There's a miracle coming
An answer to prayers I ain't even prayed yet
I know
This is not the ending
And I know
You've got something working
I know You're working on something
There's an answer coming
There's an answer on it's way
I know there's something I don't know
This is not the ending
And I know
You've got something working
I know You're working on something
There's an answer coming
I know
There's something I don't know
