Pass the Peace

Put my cards out on the table

Done the best that I been able

All the heights that I had dreamed to

Were just farther to fall

I'm working nearly every single morning

Count my blessings in the evening

But sometimes eking out a living

Is hardly living at all

Well, I've been carrying this weight for so long

Pass me over that piece you've been dragging on

Well, I've been carrying this weight for so long

Pass me over that piece you've been dragging on, well, dragging on

Saw my life spread out before me

But it went slipping through my fingers

Though the essence of it lingers

Like it's tattooed to my bones

Sometimes I feel it, babe

Like it's waiting around the corner

Dreams are fleeting, like the living

One day you're here, and one day you're gone

Well, I've been carrying this weight for so long

Pass me over that piece you've been dragging on

Well, I've been carrying this weight for so long, oh

Pass me over that piece you've been dragging on, oh

And I've been on the line so many times, Heaven knows

And I've stumbled along the way, oh

Every time I stand back up, my spirit goes

Oh, I can feel it goin'

I saw my life spread out before me

But it went slipping through my fingers

Though the essence of it lingers

Like it's tattooed to my bones

Sometimes I feel it, babe

Like it's waiting around the corner

Dreams are fleeting, like the living

One day you're here, and one day you're gone

Well, I've been carrying this weight for so long

Pass me over that piece you've been dragging on

Well, I've been carrying this weight for so long, oh

Pass me over that piece you've been dragging on, Lord

Well, I've been carrying this weight for so long, so long

Pass me over that piece you've been dragging on, oh, hey

Pass me over that piece you've been dragging on, oh, right

Pass me over that piece you've been dragging on
