"Ten Tons" lyrics

Life is a storm that we all face
Full of new ways for you to lose your faith
Easy to be overwhelmed when you're
Caught under the weight
Yeah, life is a series of joys and heartaches

I can't explain why you're feeling this way
Maybe you carry too much and you suffocate
Easily overwhelmed when you're
Caught under the waves
Yeah, life is a breath that we all take

Is it close enough to perfect in your eyes?
Is the destination worth it every time?

Why does it feel like
We're lifting ten tons sometimes?
Why do we live in the darkness?
When we could open our eyes
When the days weighing heavy
And there's no end in sight
Just know that your shadows
Move with the light

We all carry ten tons, ten tons
Your struggles are worth their weight in gold
We all carry ten tons, ten tons
Oh, I will not break and I will not fold
Under ten tons, ten tons
Life will never give me more than I can hold
Yeah, we can carry ten tons, ten tons

It's a ill wind that blows no good
Don't let an opportunity be misunderstood
Easy to be blaming someone else
For the mess you made yourself
'Cause life is something that we do to ourselves

Is it close enough to perfect in your eyes?
Is the destination worth it every time?

Why does it feel like
We're lifting ten tons sometimes?
Why do we live in the darkness?
When we could open our eyes
When the days weighing heavy
And there's no end in sight
Just know that my shadows
Move with the light
We all carry ten tons, ten tons
Our struggles are worth their weight in gold
We all carry ten tons, ten tons
Oh, I will not break and I will not fold
Under ten tons, ten tons
Life will never give me more than I can hold
And we can carry ten tons, ten tons

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, we can carry ten tons, ten tons
