Carry This Weight

There once was a time when I was broken and beaten
I didn’t know how I’d survive
The things I held onto even when I didn’t men to
They held me back from being alive
I have done lots of livin’ and not been forgiven
I cut out my past with a knife
I don’t look back in sorrow I live for tomorrow
There’s still time to do what’s right
and I’ll carry this weight for the rest of my life

The past no longer rules me and things are as they should be
and nothing can stand in my way
and with every moment my life always shows me
that these are the glorious days
I have done lots of livin’ and not been forgiven
I cut out my past with a knife
I don’t look back in sorrow I live for tomorrow
There’s still time to do what’s right
and I’ll carry this weight for the rest of my life
