CARRY THE CROSS

Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross

of someone else's fault

a few summers have gone by

still your leaves are green and tender

your imagination is grander

than the stars in the clear blue sky

a few pages written in your book

a great story yet to be told

the future there for you to unfold

is waiting waiting in the deep cold

Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross

of someone else's fault

you're a goodbye never said

you're a ticket with no return

you're the sweet words never heard

you're tears never shed

Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross

of someone else's fault

one day you'll grow into a rose

become the flower that life bestows

your pain your fears like a river

will feed your garden you'll never wither

Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross

of someone else's fault

Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross

it's not your fault

Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross

of someone else's fault

Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross

it's not your fault
