This song is about the loads that we carry through our lives and how we sometimes have to carry each other.
Story behind the song
A cargo can be defined as something good or something bad. In my song it is your experience and your history put into a bag but it also deals with how we can be a heavy load to others or they can be that to us.
Lyrics
Over the years I have gathered so much
from places I've seen and people I've met
A cargo - filled with love and pain
A cargo - that bears my name
A cargo - it's the strangest load
A cargo - and it's all I have
Give me your hand and I'll give you my smile
Touch me inside and I'll be your's for life
I will support you and try to be strong
But sometimes I need you to carry me on
I know for a fact that I'm no superman
But I'll do my best, it's the best I can do
Give me your hand and I'll give you my smile
Touch me inside and I'll be your's for life
A cargo - it's an easy load
A cargo - will you carry me?
A cargo - but I'll keep it light
A cargo - that somehow feels right.
- I'll run you over, it's just who I am
- But if you love me, you will understand
You are a blessing to someone like me
When I forget you are my memory
And I'll cheer you up when your head's hanging low
I'll be your Ying, when your Yang overflows
Give me your hand and I'll give you my smile
Touch me inside and I'll be your's for life
A cargo - it's no easy load
A cargo - will you carry me?
A cargo - but I'll keep it light
A cargo - that somehow feels right.
