Weight Off My Mind

I cast a shadow this can’t be mine
It covers so little of the ground
A heart that’s broken held together by twine
My emotions in the firing line 
My life's become a battle ground 
I cast a shadow this can’t be mine
A life that’s been redefined 
Hope rediscovered, a future found
A heart that’s broken held together by twine
A life style change complete, my life defined 
My life’s become one big merry go round
I cast a shadow this can’t be mine
But the change as given me a new lifeline
A change that’s is so profound
A heart that’s broken held together by twine
Its left me on cloud nine
A life that’s seen a turnaround
I cast a shadow this can’t be mine
A heart that’s broken held together by twine
