about

There is something about a song that can be so cathartic, that can resonate in us so fully that it can help us find out things about ourselves that we probably would have left well enough alone...

lyrics

HEAVY CROSS

C
Every Saturday night
Em
He leaves her home to play
G
That's when his life takes flight
G
That's when he takes the stage
C

His voice and his guitar
Naked for the world to see
Another stage another bar
Another chance to be free

F
He sings the words that make him cry
C
The stories of deep loss
G
His words go through your heart and pry
F
And find your heavy cross
Am G

His voice can clean your soul
Like a gospel of love & trust
In this life that's his role
He turns your sorrow into dust

He wants nothing in return
but the joy to sing and strum
he wants to soothe all your burns
and march to the bear of his own drum

F
He sings the words that make him cry
C
The stories of deep loss
G
His words go through your heart and pry
F
And find your heavy cross
Am G
