Don't Carry More Than You Can Drop

Keep it light, keep it close

One hand free, one foot ready If it slips,

let it go

I used to stack my pockets like bricks

Then

wonder why my steps got stiff

Carrying names that don’t call back

Carrying weight I never lift

Hands full, I can’t catch my breath

Grip too tight, I’m feeling the stress

If it falls, let it fall clean Only hold what you can

release

Don’t carry more than you can drop

Let it go when your balance rocks If it isn’t yours,

don’t lock it down Travel light,

keep moving now Drop it Keep it Drop it Let go I

don’t need ten bags for one trip I don’t need that knot

in my ribs

What I hold should fit my palms

Not pull me under when it slips

Don’t carry more than you can drop

Let it go when your balance rocks If it isn’t yours,

don’t lock it down Travel light,

keep moving now

I’m not a shelf for every load

I’m not a rope for every pull

If it costs my peace to hold It’s not mine to keep,

I’m cool What you can’t drop will drag you What you can’t

drop will tag you Lighten up,

let it off Drop it,

drop

it Don’t carry more than you can drop Keep your hands free,

keep your heart soft Let it fall,

let it fade Walk on clean,

unafraid
