Chorus:
Gonna take myself a break from the world and its strife
I'm gonna reclaim what's left of my life

Oh, Ah Oh, Ah Oh, Ah Oh, Ah

All sides pull hard, but nobody will win
Things are moving too fast, we're in a tailspin

Chorus:
Gonna take myself a break from the world and its strife
I'm gonna reclaim what's left of my life

Oh, Ah Oh, Ah Oh, Ah Oh, Ah

Bridge:
I just can't bear to see our world this way
So filled with pain and anger every day (daaay)
Everyone's fighting, seems no one can get along
How can they all be right yet act so wrong?

Oh, Ah Oh, Ah Oh, Ah Oh, Ah

Where can I go to get me some peace of mind
It's what my heart and soul really long to find
I need to take some time to get away
Find a quiet place to stay and pray

Oh, Ah Oh, Ah Oh, Ah Oh, Ah

No good can come from all of this hate
Love one another before it's too late

Chorus:
Gonna take myself a break from the world and its strife
I'm gonna reclaim what's left of my life
What's left of my life--what's left of my life--what's left of my life
Oh, Ah Oh, Ah Oh, Ah Oh, Ah (fade)

Oh, how I cry sometimes at fate
And life's inequities
I wonder why I have to feel
Such insecurity

But like a baby whose new tooth
Is causing him to cry
I smile and know God's truth within
Will prevail, by and by

And as I go through life, I feel,
And find this somewhat soothing
Though all the pain and strife seems real,
I'm really only truthing
