The weight appears every day

It moves in a strange way

It works day and night

We notice it on sight

The weight is a journey

Meant for us only

Right or wrong

The weight keeps us strong

The weight is a step we take

To see what memories we can make

The weight is all we know

It represents the strength we show

The weight is a test

We’ll past like all the rest

It makes us see

What’s meant to be

It makes us look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

The weight provides lesssons

That become heartfelt confessions

It helps us stand

As we hold God’s hand

The weight is solid ground

We find no matter who’s around

And it’s the character we create

We call it the weight
