Pulling That Freight

See a light at tunnels end
And take a deep breath
Been a long time chugging through the dark
And I really need a break
I need some sunlight on my back
And just a chance to take some time
Just resting here in the warmth of the sunshine
It seems pulling the freight of my life
Is getting heavier every day
It gets to be too heavy sometimes
And I’ve got to stop and recharge my soul
Once I’ve built up another head of steam
I can drag this heavy load where I’m going
And maybe I’ll meet up with you along the way
And we can carry on together
And blaze a trail of our own making
Filled with love and light
Now here’s another tunnel dark and forbidding
Filled with unknown terrors for my soul
I guess they come along now and then
It just makes life more of a battle to be fought
And you feel that much stronger when you’ve won
When you’ve won your way on through
To another chance to sit and shine in the sun
