Heavy Heart from Become Other by Ben Bostick

I was born with a heavy heart
A heavy beating from the very start
With bended back and two weary feet
My burden brings me down to my knees
Praying please don’t fail me now
Don’t fail me now, don’t fail me now
Lift me up, let me see the stars
And I’ll beat on with a heavy heart
 
Mother, are you there?
You told me you’d be with me everywhere
In this vale of tears
Lighting every minute of every year
But you left me with this weight inside
This shroud around me, and cheeks that never dry
 
I was born with a heavy heart
A heavy beating from the very start
With bended back and two weary feet
My burden brings me down to my knees
Praying please don’t fail me now
Don’t fail me now, don’t fail me now
Lift me up, let me see the stars
And I’ll beat on with a heavy heart
 
Mother, what’s the price?
I’ve got nothing left to sacrifice
May I pay with pride? Will all be settled in the afterlife?
You left me with too much to bear
It broke me, Mama, and I cannot be repaired
 
I was born with a heavy heart
A heavy beating from the very start
With bended back and two weary feet
My burden brings me down to my knees
Praying please don’t fail me now
Don’t fail me now, don’t fail me now
Lift me up, let me see the stars
And I’ll beat on with a heavy heart
 
I was born with a heavy heart
A heavy beating from the very start
I was born with a heavy heart, born with a heavy heart
