Doing the best we can
Sometimes don't mean a damn
Just carry that weight like you'd carry a friend
In the end, all we have is our self, the way that we started
Doesn't that make us whole?
Strong gets stronger
When made to carry a weight that hurts
Know this: no bliss ever came for free
Somehow you've got to bleed
Just like the birds and the bees, as with entropy
We must increase
Whether we're tied to just one fate, I don't know
All that I know is that we must grow
And Mama, it's not your fault
Strong gets stronger
When made to carry a weight that hurts
Know this: no bliss ever came for free
Somehow you've got to bleed
We're only as strong as the weight to which we're wed
What doesn't go to our hearts
Blows to the wind or it goes to our head
We're only as strong as the weight we pull through the dirt
It's no measure of worth, it's cheaper than words
But it's your weight to carry
So carry it well mama, carry it well
Carry your weight and carry it well
A star that works don't shine so bright as a star that has burst
That's just you, mama, lord knows its true, what you've been through
That's just you, mama, God knows its true, what you've been through
So carry your weight
And carry it well.
Strong gets stronger
When made to carry a weight that hurts
Know this: no bliss ever came for free
Somehow you've got to bleed
Somehow you've got to bleed...
