Heavy

“I know it’s heavy”, she said
“But you gotta go
And take it with you
Down the road”
My legs were burning
My back was on fire
I was on my knees
In no time at all

It’s heavy
But you gotta go
It’s heavy
Just bring it home

All my relations
Live in my blood
And see through my eyes
At all I done
I carry them with me
All along my way
If I only listen
To what they say
It might get easier
Or maybe not
Teach me to be grateful
For all I got

Well

It’s heavy
But you gotta go
It’s heavy
Just bring it home

The past ain’t over
It’s happening now
I can wade in its water
Anytime I want
And learn some lessons
And right some wrongs
Make me stronger
When I lift that stone

Well, well

It’s heavy
But you gotta go
It’s heavy
Just bring it home
The future ain’t tomorrow
It’s happening now
Listen to the changes
Feel it in your power
And I know it’s heavy
But I gotta go
And take it with me
On my way home

Well, well, well
It’s heavy
But you gotta go
It’s heavy
Just bring it home
