lyrics

Tell me, son, what you’re on
Why you carry such a heavy load
It’s all the same, nothing’s changed I just try to keep myself afloat
You’re a minister with no congregation
I just try to keep my dreams alive
And that’s alright

Take it day by day, stay outside the rain

I’ve been broken, I’ve been bitter, I’ve been beaten and I’ve been confused
I’ve said what I need to say and I am handing down the torch to you
You decide if you burn it all down, yeah
Or if you’re gonna be the guiding light
And that too is alright

Make up your own mind, stay within the lines, yeah

Take it day by day, stay outside the rain
Make up your own mind for a change

Tell me, son, what you’re on, why you carry
The weight of everything and why it’s necessary
To tell me, son, why you carry such a heavy load

Tell me why you are applying such pressure
Onto yourself and why you constantly measure
Everything you are and what you do

Son, you are running
I don’t why you’re running, but you are running
And you are speeding when you should be slowing down instead
‘Cause when you get to that finish line, it’s just gonna be, POW!

Tell me, son, what you’re on
Why you carry such a heavy load
Take your time and you’ll be fine
You just gotta learn to let go
I tell you, son, we’ve all been wrong
It just takes a little time to feel like you belong

I tell you, son, you’re not alone
But you’ll be fighting all your life
Just realize it’s the fight that makes you feel alive
That too is alright
Take it day by day, stay outside the rain
Don’t be in it for the money
Being in it for the money that’s a poor man’s game
