The Ties That Bind - Allison Moorer

Darkness all around me

Ancient, cold, and scary

Walking wounded, walking unworthy

Did you know what that was teaching me to be?

I wander and I worry

Can’t get going even though I hurry

I’ve been dragging your legacy

And the weight has just about taken me down

Why do I carry what isn’t mine?

Can I take the good and leave the rest behind?

Can I let go and watch it all unwind?

Can I untie the ties the bind?

Shadows in the hallway

Spirits whispering my name

Ain’t gonna get me, no not one more day

I am strong enough to stake my own claim

Why do I carry what isn’t mine?

Can I take the good and leave the rest behind?

Can I let go and watch it all unwind?

Can I untie the ties the bind?
