Unburdened

You have given me wings to fly,

wings to lift me way up high,

and carry me across the sky

and wave my earthly cares goodbye.

But there’s a weight inside my chest,

a nurtured weight against my breast

from which there’s no escape or rest,

that keep me from my Godly quest.

Shall I then leave this weight with You

as better things from You ensue?

And can I then Your dreams pursue

as You take care of this thing too?

Now, watch me soar with all my might

and lift off in a heavenly flight

to help others in their earthly plight

and help them set their wrongs to right.
