I am weary and far from home
But I’ve still so far to go
On this road I'm so alone
The weight is too much for me.
I often wonder why I’m here
All my faults are never clear
No one else is standing near
The guilt is too much for me.
So very long since I’ve seen light
gazed upon that lovely sight
How shall I remain upright?
The dark is too much for me.
They all see me so strong and tall
Never see the lies at all
Tempted by the sirens call
The sound is too much for me.
His call can never be ignored
Cannot make it on my own
Yet, I know, there’s something more
The love is too much for me.
Very little I understand
Hide myself and then pretend
Yearning for the promised land
The lie is too much for me.
Watching, waiting all night for me
hiding so I can't be seen
I’m too proud to turn around
No lie is too much for him.
So patiently he waits to see
Every truth I locked away
He would give the key to me
No love is too much for him.
Within my ear, the voice rings clear
A far-off call beckons near
I refuse to face my fear
No sound is too much for him.
I scarce recall that wondrous sight
Longing, burning for delight
My soul needs to see that light
No dark is too much for him.
Alone I carry all the blame
Still, he'd welcome me that day
Yet I cannot hide my shame
No guilt is too much for him.
Cannot carry this cross alone
I’m tired and far from home
His burden's easy and its light
No weight is too much for him.
