More Than I Can Bear Lyrics

There's a place in the fields on the south side of town

Where the lilies grow wild on the hill

There's a name on a stone, near a wall crumbled down,

where a dove comes to rest and is still

And it hurts to believe that there's no one to grieve

What a sad, lonely thought to conceive

But this world does not care and such thoughts lead nowhere

Only God knows the depth of despair

And the name on the stone, could it be my own?

Should I care? It's More Than I Can Bear

In a tree on the crest of the hill at sundown

mourning doves settle down for the night

When the sun meets the road it resembles a crown

And I'm thankful to see such a sight

But it hurts to believe that there's no one to grieve

What a sad, lonely thought to embrace

But this world does not care and such thoughts lead nowhere

Only God knows the fear that we face

And the name on the stone, could it be my own?

Should I care? It's More Than I Can Bear
