Contraband – Bear The Load Lyrics

You work on this earth
And take each step with care
From the moment of your birth
Your life has been a prayer
And maybe you've done your best
Or maybe you haven't tried
Maybe you've been blessed
Or maybe you've been denied

Now you're facing something
You never thought you'd face
And it might be the one thing
To take you from this place

So if you're carrying a burden, be strong
Bear the load
If you're carrying a burden, be strong
Bear the load
There's a hand on your shoulder
To help you up the road
So if you're carrying a burden
Bear the load

The doubt within you grows
You're trying to see what's true
And you reach out for those
Who mean so much to you
But if you're so alone
Don't know which way to run
Don't know which way to run
For refuge in the night
Pour the light of the sun

Now you're facing something
You never thought you'd face
What were you expecting
Nothing stays the same

So if you're standing at a crossroads
Take the turn, turn and go
If you're standing at a crossroads
Take a turn, turn and go
Pull in the direction
Your heart tells you to go
If you're standing at a crossroads,
Turn and go

So if you're carrying a burden, be strong
Bear the load
If you're carrying a burden, be strong
Bear the load
There's a hand on your shoulder
To help you up the road
So if you're carrying a burden
Bear the load
