The world on your shoulders....


So Much
By: Erin

Do you ever feel the world on your shoulders by day and by night?
Do you have days when you ask: “Will it really actually for honest truth be alright?”
“People need me.”
“I have things to do, places to be.”

Close your eyes
Or look to the skies
Breathe in deeply now
Know this:
The world will continue on somehow

It may feel the world is on your shoulders – but it’s not
That is just something dark in our brains causing pain and distraught
The world will continue regardless of this decision or that
Life is a journey – not something we “arrive at”

When you ask yourself “Will it really actually for honest truth be alright?”
Say out loud: “I stand for not darkness, but light.”
When we fight for light we get joy, love, and hope in great measure
And those things are our greatest treasure

You are needed that is true
But you are needed to be your beautiful you
So that you can do what God has inspired you to do
And go to the place you are supposed to be too

Don’t be burdened by this world, this life, this treasure you’ve been given
Take what inspires you – and become driven
Remembering in your heart that you have been forgiven
Freed already from that burden on your shoulders by day and by night
And now you know it really actually for honest truth will be alright
