Courage

I carry my house on my back
My songs, my child on my back
Emotions that must be kept silent and my guitar slung over my shoulder

It's heavy, it's too much
It's heavy, it's too much

Ouch, ouch, ouch
Ouch, ouch, ouch
It takes courage to hold on
Ouch, ouch, ouch
Ouch, ouch, ouch
Hold on

I carry my woman's body, whatever its weight
My belly heavy or devoid of love
I carry a hundred thousand flags, my ideals and my nonsense

It's heavy, it's too much
It's heavy, it's too much

Ouch, ouch, ouch
Ouch, ouch, ouch
It takes courage to hold on
Ouch, ouch, ouch
Ouch, ouch, ouch
Hold on

I I bend, I bend, you stay straight
Why can't you take on some of this weight?
I I bend, I bend, you stay straight
Why can't you take on some of this weight?
I bend, I bend (ouch, ouch, ouch), you stay straight (ouch, ouch, ouch)
Why can't you take on some of this weight? (What courage it takes to stand firm)
I bend, I bend (ouch, ouch, ouch), you stay straight (ouch, ouch, ouch)
(Stand firm) why can't you take on some of this weight?

I'm letting go of everything, everything's falling from my grasp
It's a stain, you weren't expecting it
I'll carry more than my baggage, I don't care if you think I'm a coward

No love without sharing
No love without sharing

I bend, I bend (ouch, ouch, ouch), you stay straight (ouch, ouch, ouch)
Why can't you take on some of this weight?
I bend, I bend (ouch, ouch, ouch), you stay straight (ouch, ouch, ouch)
Why can't you take on some of this weight?
(Ouch, ouch, ouch) I bend, I bend, you stay straight (ouch, ouch, ouch)
What courage it takes to hold on
Why can't you take on some of this weight?
Ouch, ouch, ouch (I bend, I bend, you stay straight) ouch, ouch, ouch, hold on
Why can't you take on some of this weight?

Ouch, ouch, ouch
Ouch, ouch, ouch
It takes courage to hold on
(It will take courage, courage)
Ouch, ouch, ouch
Ouch, ouch, ouch
I'm holding on
It will take courage, courage
