"Bear Your Own Cross" lyrics
When you say "bear on the cross," just like Jesus had to walk
You know, the Via Dolorosa to Calvary, that's, he's carrying the world's weight on his shoulders
So, when they say "carry your cross," you're carrying what feels, to you, the world's weight on your shoulders
Bear your own cross, surrender the loss
The shadow you toss and the walls coming down
The valley of death, infinity's breath
But nothing is left in this ghost town
Dying from the old to be born again now
The person we were no longer knows how
To exist in a world created from fear
Of not being enough or seeing things clear
Death and rebirth, death and rebirth
Life is just a process of death and rebirth
Letting go of the past to really be free
The illusion breaks down who we thought we would be
Bear your own cross, surrender the loss
The shadow you toss when the world's coming down
The valley of death, infinity's breath
But nothing is left in this ghost town
Constructing yourself from the devil's old lies
One part is running mixed up in alibis
Walking through the valley of the shadow of death
The fear in your gut expands with every breath
Sitting in what's empty so that you can be free
Of the person you pretended or thought you would be
Bear your own cross, sit in the storm
Letting go of the ego so that you can be born
Bear your own cross, surrender the loss
The shadow you toss when the world's coming down
The valley of death, infinity's breath
But nothing is left in this ghost town
Where we going from here, where we going?
Where we going from here, where we going?
Faith in letting go, fear in holding on
Forgiveness and mercy to sing a new song
Let us evolve, love, and move on
To find out that we've never really been that strong
Expressing our freedom from inside of a cage
In the book of our life, we can't turn the page
Surrender is hard, we are told to hold on
To a self that ain't real, and who is long since been gone
Bear your own cross, surrender the loss
The shadow you toss when the world's coming down
The valley of death, infinity's breath
But nothing is left in this ghost town
Where we going from here, where we going?
Where we going from here, where we going?
You know, the Via Dolorosa to Calvary, that's, he's carrying the world's weight on his shoulders
So, when they say "carry your cross," you're carrying what feels, to you, the world's weight on your shoulders
Bear your own cross, surrender the loss
The shadow you toss and the walls coming down
The valley of death, infinity's breath
But nothing is left in this ghost town
Dying from the old to be born again now
The person we were no longer knows how
To exist in a world created from fear
Of not being enough or seeing things clear
Death and rebirth, death and rebirth
Life is just a process of death and rebirth
Letting go of the past to really be free
The illusion breaks down who we thought we would be
Bear your own cross, surrender the loss
The shadow you toss when the world's coming down
The valley of death, infinity's breath
But nothing is left in this ghost town
Constructing yourself from the devil's old lies
One part is running mixed up in alibis
Walking through the valley of the shadow of death
The fear in your gut expands with every breath
Sitting in what's empty so that you can be free
Of the person you pretended or thought you would be
Bear your own cross, sit in the storm
Letting go of the ego so that you can be born
Bear your own cross, surrender the loss
The shadow you toss when the world's coming down
The valley of death, infinity's breath
But nothing is left in this ghost town
Where we going from here, where we going?
Where we going from here, where we going?
Faith in letting go, fear in holding on
Forgiveness and mercy to sing a new song
Let us evolve, love, and move on
To find out that we've never really been that strong
Expressing our freedom from inside of a cage
In the book of our life, we can't turn the page
Surrender is hard, we are told to hold on
To a self that ain't real, and who is long since been gone
Bear your own cross, surrender the loss
The shadow you toss when the world's coming down
The valley of death, infinity's breath
But nothing is left in this ghost town
Where we going from here, where we going?
Where we going from here, where we going?
