Song Lyrics

I was just about to quote Mark Twain
When I realized that it's all in vain
A twist of fate, a twisted look of pain
To defeat the wheat, go against the grain

I know, I know
I know, I know

I know what you've been through
But there's only so much one can do
Now the rest is up to you
The rest is up to you

The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you

The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you

Your mentor's become your tormentor
Give him the money, but is it for rent or
Will you get burnt for the countless time?
Your head starts to hurt, you just close your eyes

I know, I know
I know, I know

I know what he did to you
But there's only so much on can do
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you

The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you

The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you

This speech is merely words
It's even worse because it rhymes
Give me a minute or your time
I'll have a minute of your time

And I can't make this click
And I can't tattoo your mind
But you know this ain't no trick
Take it or leave it all behind

The rest is up to you
(The rest is up to you)
The rest is up to you
(The rest is up to you)
The rest is up to you
(The rest is up to you)

(Gave my advice, done all I can)
The rest is up to you
(It's your life, it's in your hands)
The rest is up to you
(Why don't)
The rest is up to you

Why don't you try to slow down?
Slow things down
Slow things down

'Cause I know you're hurting
So put down your burdens
Crucify your doubts and just reach out
Reach out to Jesus, embrace him
Turn your life around to face him

You'll find mercy, you'll see
Grace, love, and beauty defined in his face
You'll find mercy, you'll see
Grace, love, and beauty defined in his face

Matthew Arnold Thiessen
