Baggage

I carry baggage full of past mistakes And sins of omission, too Memories of things I should not have done And dreams that never did come true The burden grows a little bit heavier Each step along the way But I carry my load without complaint Every night and every day I’ve earned every scar that I now wear On my imperfect body I’ve got no one to blame for my awful pain Except this man that I call me I noticed that you have baggage, too That you carry with you everywhere I think for us to get along It’s best that we don’t compare I accept you for who you are today And not for the baggage at your feet It’s what we do from this day forward That will make our lives complete We can help each other lighten their loads If we can let go of the past If we check our baggage with the man upstairs This love will forever last
