There's this weight I carry
It's heavy and exhausting
It's beautiful, and quite daring
It yanks me down more times than I can count
Squeezes, punches, and pushes every last nerve
But it's perfect on every account
It's the hardest, most difficult weight I've ever carried
Full of kicks and screams and fits
But it's something I refuse to burry
I could walk away and live a different life
I could be weightless and free
But this weight is worth more than my own life
So I will pull it up over ranges of mountains
I will piggy back it over every raging sea
And if anyone tries to harm it, I would **** thousands
It's the most precious cargo I could ever own
It's the only I can ever have
So I choose to carry it and to never be alone
For its weight brings me great joy
And the warmth is overwhelming
So I hold tight and hold strong and enjoy
For the terrain will mellow down
And it will not always be this heavy
So this weight I hold with love, and in it I drowne.
