Matthew Bertram – Weary lyrics

The road is long, the first-time pioneer
Gotta stay strong, there's no time for fear
Legs are tired, looking for some rest
Pathway is mired, need to pass this test

Cannot give up, though the thought is there
Can't interrupt, fighting back the despair

Just need to find, a glimmer of hope
Reaching the end, the end of the rope
Wiping the tears and sweat from the brow
The struggle is real, especially now
Thought this would be easier, but now here comes the truth
Looking back is easier, 'cause all there is is youth

As night collapses, and the sun reaches face
The soul is weary, and needs an embrace
Need a drop of strength to keep moving on
Nearing the finish line to end this marathon

Cannot give up, though, the thought is there
Can't cover up, fighting back this nightmare

Just need to find, a glimmer of hope
Reaching the end, the end of the rope
Wiping the tears and sweat from the brow
The struggle is real, especially now
Thought this would be easier, but now here comes the truth
Looking back is easier, 'cause all there is is youth

Just don't see how
Have to get through somehow
One step at a time
There's a mountain to climb, get a spine
Define landmines, deadlines, it's a sign
Streamline, outshine, up ahead the finish line, cloud nine
