This one I started writing on a tour in Sweden. We where driving through meter high "dunes" of white fluff and my thoughts where going really dark and ......nordic

lyrics

I carry my cross

I carry my cross through thick and thin
In stormy weather I don’t give in
Come rain, come shine, Come hurricane
I don’t give a toss -I carry my cross

I carry my cross for all my sins
The wood is raw against my skin
My aching back is giving in
But don’t make a fuzz, I carry my cross

I carry my cross and walk by foot
My thoughts are dark behind my hood
To show the world I’m misunderstood
To further my cause, I carry my cross

I carry my cross with bruised up shins
I kick myself what could have been
My crown of thorns is diggin’ in
Yeah thanks to us I carry my cross

My hands are tied, I can’t let go
This is my life for all I know
it’s all I give it’s all I got
Know who’s the boss - I carry my cross

I carry my cross for you and me
For all that we refuse to see
and for our pride and big mistakes
and for our loss I carry my cross

SOLO

I carry my cross a second skin
To get my way, to get my win
I stand outside looking in
Not one of us -I carry my cross

I stand my ground so stubbornly
My heels dug in you can’t move me
And there goes love, and there goes trust
and that’s my loss –I carry my cross

I carry my cross for all to see
My wounded soul my haunted me
My miserable life and low self-esteem
too hard to suss -I carry my cross
And just when you think I’m back for good
I play the flush, and carry my cross
