Heavy Cross to Bear 2010 Cameron Earnshaw/Robert George BMI/SESAC
Steven was a medic, serving in Afghanistan
Red cross painted on his helmet, dodging bullets in the sand
And hed risk his life to rescue, soldiers dyin in the dust
It was only paint and metal, but to him that helmet was
A heavy cross to bear
For the true and brave
With courage, light and prayer
Someone will be saved
Though its humble and its plain
Its beyond compare
That symbol yet remains
A heavy cross to bear
Theres a one-room country chapel, in the woods of Alabam
And its bid goodbye to heroes, from Japan to Vietnam
Simple cross upon the steeple, forged with hope and faith and steel
long as liberty is threatened, then that church will always feel
A heavy cross to bear
For the true and brave
With courage, light and prayer
Someone will be saved
Though its humble and its plain
Its beyond compare
That symbol yet remains
A heavy cross to bear
Theres a hill beside a farmhouse, with a footpath on the side
And a cross among some crabgrass, made of pine and painted white
Theres a widow in the moonlight, and a teardrop epitaph
Dozen roses and some dog-tags, and that hill will always have
A heavy cross to bear
For the true and brave
With courage, light and prayer
Someone will be saved
Though its humble and its plain
Its beyond compare
That symbol yet remains
A heavy cross to bear
A heavy cross to bear
A heavy cross to bear
