Verse 1] Boots hit the floor before the sun Coffee’s cold, but the work ain’t done Every mile got a face I know Every promise I still owe I been holdin’ doors, holdin’ lines Tryin’ to keep everybody aligned Smile on my face, weight on my back Tell myself, “Man, you got this” — fact [Pre-Chorus] But the road feels longer than it did before And the phone don’t ring like it used to anymore [Chorus] I’m still carryin’ the load, still doin’ my best Still sayin’ yes when I’m feelin’ stressed World spins fast, hearts drift slow Everybody’s busy, everybody goes When I’m runnin’ on fumes, losin’ control I lean on somethin’ that won’t let go Yeah, I bend, yeah, I break, but I don’t fold ‘Cause I ain’t alone — Christ holds the load [Post-Chorus / Hook] Hey—oh, hey—oh Christ holds the load Hey—oh, hey—oh I ain’t alone [Verse 2] Used to have a crew right by my side Same late nights, same small-town pride Now it’s quiet where the laughter was Everybody’s chasin’ somethin’ else because I don’t blame ‘em, life pulls hard Different lanes, different cards But some nights when the house goes still I feel the silence hit me real [Pre-Chorus] Tryna stay strong, but I’m wearin’ thin Lookin’ for light when the dark creeps in [Chorus] I’m still carryin’ the load, still doin’ my best Still fightin’ doubt inside my chest World’s on fire, truth feels old Everybody shoutin’, nobody bold When I’m down on my knees, losin’ control I lean on somethin’ that saves my soul Yeah, I bend, yeah, I break, but I don’t fold ‘Cause I ain’t alone — Christ holds the load [Post-Chorus / Hook] Hey—oh, hey—oh Christ holds the load Hey—oh, hey—oh I ain’t alone [Bridge] (short, rhythmic, crowd-friendly) Hands up, heart open wide Even when I’m runnin’ dry Faith don’t fade, it grows When I let go and let Him hold [Final Chorus] I’m still carryin’ the load, still walkin’ straight Still believin’ it ain’t too late When the world feels lost, cold, and broke I got hope even when I’m low From the cradle to the dirt road From the first breath to my last oath Yeah, I bend, yeah, I break, but I don’t fold ‘Cause I ain’t alone — Christ holds the load [Outro / Chant] Hey—oh, hey—oh Christ holds the load Hey—oh, hey—oh Till the end of the road
