Cross To Bear

you ran away with your conscience dear

there was a red flag waving in my ear saying

'stay away you've got something to fear'

well why did i not choose to hear

well i am through with suffering

gonna make better choices i don't need no wedding ring

i can sing i can dance

but i can't make thus feeling cease

cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and



we all got our cross to bear

our star of david our dreadlocked hair

and oh yeah baby i still care

and if you need some help

you know i'll always be there



well it's been a strange year

you've been a very bad dog

as my fire went out

you'd put on another log

but it was worth never having any peace

and deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and



repeat chorus



some nights i thought i'd cry forever

i'd wish him away and then i'd turn into a beggar

but it was worth always scraping my knees

and deep in my soul you left a permanent crease



i wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve



and i've got the aching love that only you can relieve

but i'm not afraid to go down with a sinking friend

i'm gonna live out my dreams even if they kill me in the end



repeat chorus
