The Dove takes  us on a journey through life, pain - and a strong woman's determination!

Living this life everyday with a struggle on my shoulders
This weight is too heavy yet I pretend the strength of a boulder
My arms are weak and legs giving up and my heart growing colder
Time is passing me and instead of enjoyment time affirms I'm getting older

The lines on my eyes and the slowness of every step
The endless nights lying awake and thoughts of the hand I was dealt and I have wept
The morning is creeping into my window and my eyes carry heavy bags of steel
Wishing and hoping the reality I'm living is really not real....but I deal
I'm mean what choice do I have Mother, father, friend, I'm blessed but sad
It feels like every step I take I'm forced to re-trace re-tract and step back
My mind constantly thinking of the resolution but my body says "think again" "Now react"

Numbness consumes me on my bumpy rocky road
Clear my thoughts, focus, here comes more bullshit! Reload------
Still I keep going like a machine that never runs out of gas
Gotta keep pushing foward and live like its my last
Even if I can't enjoy a moment or get a simple break
I'm blessed to be here right? My life is only at stake....but will I break?
From the weight?
on my shoulder
getting older
heart colder
from the weight on my shoulder
standing tall like a boulder

Let me not think about this anymore so I can progress
with success
yes indeed
I will succeed
and what I need
the Lord will provide
taken with stride
I will SURVIVE!!!!!!
And the hurt and the pain will eventually fade with the rain
and the sun will shine
and my life will be fine
So I have vented and now I'm done
my battle I will over come
and eventually I can stand tall and say
"I WON"__________________
