The Weight of the Morning Sun - Levi Stoker

The moon is hiding high on the ridge
Like a coward in the dark
Leaving me with nothing
But a cold and dying spark
I spent the light in the trenches
Of a memory and a ghost
Fighting off the shadows
That I used to love the most
Now the sky is turning violet
And the birds begin to cry
As a ghost starts bleeding
Through the corners of the eye
Most folks see a blessing
In the breaking of the day
But I just see the mountain
That I've gotta move away
Oh it's the way to the morning sun
Heavy on my back
Another mile of gravel
On a long and lonely track
It shines on the struggle
And it shines on the pain
Like a spotlight on the scars
That I gathered in the rain
But I'll shoulder the light
And I'll carry the heat
I won't let the sunrise
Witness my defeat
Yeah I'm rising with the fire
'Til the day is done
Under the weight of the morning sun
I called it black as midnight
That my heart is just as tough
I've had a belly full of living
And I've almost had enough
But the bills are on the table
And the cattle need to blame
So I'll tune out the echoes
Of the static in my brain
There's a dignity and labor
That the world don't understand
When you're peeling your salvation
From a hard and stubborn land
But the neighbors looking
Wonder I'm standing on my feet
With the shadows of the valley
Hanging heavy in the street
Oh it's the weight of the morning sun
Heavy on my back
Another mile of gravel on a long and lonely track
He shines on the struggle and it shines on the pain
Like a spotlight on the scars
That I gathered in the rain
Well I shoulder the light and I carry the heat
I won't let the sunrise witness my defeat
Yeah I'm rising with the fire till the day is done
Under the weight of the morning sun
I've been brighter
I can't take the heat
I've been lower than the dust beneath your feet
I'm still standing
I'm still here
It's the way of the morning sun
Heavy on my back
Another mile of gravel on a long and lonely track
It shines on the struggle and it shines on the pain
Like a spotlight on the scars
That I gathered in the rain
But I stole to the light and I carry the heat
I won't let the sunrise witness my defeat
Yeah I'm rising with the fire 'til the day is done
Under the weight of the morning sun
It's a heavy life
But I'm still walking
In the morning sun
