Heavy (Demo) [Bonus Track Version]

Second shift is all wrapped up
Sixteen hours, going nonstop
Two kids, tons of bills on the floor
And a man that suddenly walked out the door

Babies see a super mom
But truthfully, she's holding on
Just a thread, hanging on for them
When everyone else seems to wanna condemn

And she can hear the people in the pews talking about her
Gets home and on her knees, she prays in a whisper

Is there a place
Is there a place for me
To take a load off my back
It's so heavy
Is there a place, Lord
Is there a place for me
Can I put it in Your hands
Cause it's so heavy

Ain't got a roof nor a bed
Where he can rest his weary head
Been traveling by foot for months
And he's feeling like he's just on the run

Holding a cardboard sign
The people vocally wonder why
But he's just fallen on hard times
And he's trying to survive and get by

And the people mock and judge him for his state
He steps into an empty church, gets on his knees and prays

Is there a place
Is there a place for me
Cause this burden is
Getting too heavy
Is there a place, Lord
Is there a place for me
Can I put it in Your hands
Cause it's too heavy

And can we call ourselves His body, oh God's hands and feet
Turning our backs on the downtrod, and the least of these

Is there a place
Is there a place for me
To take a load off my back
It's so heavy
Is there a place, Lord
Is there a place for me
Can I put it in Your hands
Cause it's so

Is there a place, they're crying
Is there a place for me
Cause this burden is
Getting too heavy
Is there a place, Lord
Is there a place for me
Can I put it in Your hands
Cause it's too heavy
