Heavy

Heavy hands, heavy heart,
heavy eyes in the dark
If I knew how, I’d give it up
Wait for – embrace, incremental change
It feels so slow, so strange

But you know me, impatiently
running, knotted at the feet
Yeah, you know me, sensitively

feeling every tiny beat
the rhythm of my life

Corrupt hands, upended cart
When did I do my part?
But I forgive, I now forgive
And stand looking forward to the prize
giving and sharing this new life…
