I'm Not Every Woman

The first time I heard this song, tears came to my eyes with the opening line. I sat in my car, completely still and silent...and encouraged. What a beautiful message of relief and rest for women, who so often feel they have to be everything for everyone.

Finite

by Sara Groves

I'm not every woman

It's not all in me

I'm proud and guarded

When it comes to my needs

Try to keep the whole thing rolling

Try to keep an on time train

This frenetic fascination's

Really driving me insane

Anybody feel that?

Anybody feel that?

Anybody feel that?

What God meant by woman

I'm hard pressed to find

I'm chasing paper dreams

And a guilt undefined

Fighting to stay younger

Trying to stay thin and in control

Searching for a magic formula

A thing to soothe our souls

Wonderin' where the peace went

Wonderin' where the peace went

Wonderin' where the peace went

I'm finite I come to an end

I'm finite I come to an end

Try to keep the whole thing rollin'

Try to keep an on time train

This frenetic fascination's

Really drivin' me insane

Anybody feel that?

Anybody feel that?

Anybody feel that?

I'm finite, I come to an end

I'm finite, I cannot pretend

I'm finite, I come to an end

I'm finite, I cannot pretend
