I am weighed down by this pain I am blackened by this stain But I can't complain We have to choose and deal with the rest I must meet this challenge I must pass this test
Have to work with what I've got Have to walk before I run No point in always looking back The past can't be undone
And I have this cross to bear Can't pretend it isn't there
Trust, once broken, so difficult to repair Trust me, though To try and make it there Life is truth and dare We have to choose and deal with the rest In this labyrinth of options This pitfall ridden quest
Have to work with what I've got Have to walk before I run No point in always looking back The past can't be undone
And I have this cross to bear Can't pretend it isn't there
The nails are driven in But not all the way There's no tragic necessity Tomorrow can be a better day So here I sit, alone Peruse my thoughts, survey my heart And work to reconstruct This whole that's splintered into parts
Life is a dare We have to choose and deal with the rest I must meet this challenge I must pass this test
Have to work with what I've got Have to walk before I run No point in always looking back The past can't be undone
And I have this cross to bear Can't pretend it isn't there: Yet this pain behind your stare Shows the depth of how much you care
