That Heavy Load

It's hard to listen while you're talking It's hard to swallow while you breathe It's hard to know the right direction. It's hard to see what you don't believe We throw things away, while other things stay And try to sort of the difference Then we long for what's lost and measure the cost And carry them both for the distance It's hard to cry with your eyes closed. Its hard to hold your tongue and speak It's hard to lend a hand with your fist closed But there is strength among meek We throw things away, while other things stay And try to sort of the difference Then we long for what's lost and realize the cost As we carry them both for the distance But I will help you carry the heavy load I will help you carry the heavy load If it feels it weighs you down, then I may come along And I will help you carry the heavy load It's hard making love watching TV Filled with violence, smut and greed If that's your idea of fourplay Don't be surprised at what you breed We want peace and love while we push and we shove Want everything in our power To be there when we need While we follow the lead Of all that turns the sweetness to sour But I will help you carry that heavy load I will help you carry that heavy load If it feels the weights to great You know you can depend on And I will help you carry that heavy load I will help you carry that heavy load I will help you carry that heavy load I will help you carry that heavy load
