Light isn't heavy to carry A word I heard Dropped heavy The word carried the weight of years What am I carrying Light is misunderstood, misused, and often abused How isn't it heavy Heavy is the crown of thorns that cuts deep Yet light wrapped in love died for me Could I lay my burdens at his feet Light isn't heavy to carry My fear is Pick up the torch of light The yoke is easy Heavy laden doesn't reflect light It mirrors my internal fight Mirror Mirror on the wall I want to reflect the son Mirror spoke back Reflect on the words of the one Whether you are trying to win the approval of man That's a good start
