Rest (Andrea Lewis/Chris Jonat)

I've been around the world I've seen it and I've lived it friend
I've been around the world and now it's time for me to rest
I've been around the world I've seen it yes I've lived it
I've been around the world and now it's time for me to go

Do you believe that love is God, or do you feel the reverse
Do you believe a blessing is the absence of a curse




Do you believe you have no choice but let your life play out
Did you cut your own belief just to spite your doubt
