by Jordan Sleed

I’ve struggled against all the weight of my lists 
Trying to carry You home
But today I am hit by some alien risk
To unburden my weary soul 

Yes, I tried to fight, get my motives right 
Paying for what I’d never own 

Thank God for this night, for I’m seeing the light 
Is somewhere outside my control
