Carry The Load

Carry the Load 

***

We need to build bridges 

Instead of brick walls 

We need to climb ridges 

And heed nature's call 

Let's help each other 

Carry the load 

Without one another 

Alone we grow old 

Let's not forget meaning 

In the work of love 

There's enough self denying 

In the push and shove 

Let's help each other 

Carry the load 

Without one another 

Alone we grow old 

Let us be children 

Wide open hearts 

Innocent eyes 

Never say goodbye 

Let's love the haters 

Until their pain subsides 

Til they find the love 

That comes from inside 

Let's help each other 

Carry the load 

without one another 

Alone we grow old
