The Weight of It All

Woke up in a bed of borrowed time

The clock don't care

It just rewinds

Shoes on my feet

Holes in the sole

The road ahead ain't paved in gold

Oh the weight of it all

It pulls me down

Like a stone in the river

I might just drown

But I keep walking

Step by step

A little hope

That's all I’ve kept

Streetlights flicker like broken dreams

Life ain't as bright as it always seems

Hands are calloused

Heart's worn thin

But I fight each day

I won't give in

The wind howls loud

It shakes my bones

But this fight

This fight is my own

Oh the weight of it all

It pulls me down

Like a stone in the river

I might just drown

But I keep walking

Step by step

A little hope

That's all I’ve kept

Mountains rise

Shadows fall

But I’ve got a voice to scream it all

Bruised and battered

I still stand

This is my life

This is my land
