[Verse 1]
Life is a storm that we all face
Full of new ways for you to lose your faith
Easy to be overwhelmed when you're
Caught under the wave
Your life is a series of joys and heartaches
[Verse 2]
I can't explain why you're feeling this way
Maybe you carry too much and you suffocate
Easily overwhelmed when you're
Caught under the waves
Your life is a breath that we all take
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it close enough to perfect in your eyes?
Is the dеstination worth it every time?
[Chorus]
Why doеs it feel like we're lifting ten tons sometimes?
Why do we live in the darkness when we could open our eyes?
When the days weigh in heavy (Ooh, ooh)
And there's no end in sight (Ooh, ooh)
Just know that my shadows move with the light
(We all carry ten tons, ten tons)
Your struggles are what they're waiting for
(We all carry ten tons) Ah-huh (Ten tons)
Oh, I will not break and I will not fall
Under ten tons, ten tons
Life will never give me more than I can hold
Yeah, we can carry ten tons, ten tons
[Verse 3]
It's an evil wind that blows no good, mm-uh
Don't let an opportunity be misunderstood
Easy to be blaming someone else
For the mess you've made yourself
'Cause life is something that we do to ourselves
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it close enough to perfect in your eyes?
Is the destination worth it every time?
[Chorus]
Why does it feel like we're lifting ten tons sometimes?
Why do we live in the darkness when we could open our eyes?
When the days weigh in heavy (Ooh, ooh)
And there's no end in sight (Ooh, ooh)
Just know that my shadows move with the light
Oh (We all carry ten tons) Ten tons (Ten tons)
Our struggles are what they're waiting for
(We all carry ten tons, ten tons)
Oh, I will not break and I will not fall
Under ten tons, ten tons
Life will never give me more than I can hold
Yeah, and we can carry ten tons, ten tons, oh yeah
Oh, yeah
[Outro]
Oh, we can carry ten tons, ten tons, yeah

This is an uplifting song inspired by some of my favourite singers like Sia. When I put on records by her, it always gives me a little bit of empowerment to move through a situation, believe in myself and remind myself how far I’ve come or for me to remind my friends when they’re in need. We can dea...
