I got a nap sack,

empty on my back.

I want to fill it with every strain and fear,

of the people I love.

I want to carry this tares far from here,

to the land of never more.

Unfortunately, that’s not how life is,

I can’t carry pain someone won’t give up,

or heal a heart broken by life.

It’s not my calling or purpose.

I’m a light,

on the hill,

I’m meant to shine,

That’s the Lord’s will.
