Howo do I keep moving

When I know what's up the road?

Knowing what's to come

When I finally release this load.

I've held it for too long now,

The weight keeps getting worse.

It's like trying to carry a ton of bricks

Inside of a handheld purse.

I see others struggle

And automatically try to help.

But how can I help somebody else

When I can't even help myself?

We carry them all differently

Though the load we carry's the same.

We choose to carry these loads.

So we have only us to blame.

So why carry mine any longer

When I know that God can help?

So I can finally do my job

And get my "black belt."

Though my punishment will be fierce,

God help me to endure.

And before I make this choice

God help me to be sure.

That when I make this choice,

I am making it for me.

Knowing that with this load

I can't live eternally.

I need your assistance God

From this point and now on.

Knowing that with you

My battle is already won.
