about

This song was also written during what was for us the depths of the pandemic. This song contains the album title, "the loss we've won." See Eric's blog post, "The Loss We've Won" for a fuller explanation of what he means by that.

lyrics

Our Load

(©2021 Anders/O’Bitz)

Should I know about some life
Comes after all we’ve done
Should I know about some Kingdom come
Should I know any different from
What’s been told us all along
Should I know any freedom from

Our load is to carry forth
On some path that’s way too long
Our load is to hear the cries
All daughters and all sons
Our load is a soul to come
After all is said and done
Our load is to lose it all
And love the loss we’ve won

Should I know somethin’ wise
After all is said and done
Should I know about the other ones
Should I know any difference from
The same that we’ve become
Should I know any freedom from

Our load is to carry forth
On some path that’s way too long
Our load is to hear the cries
All daughters and all sons
Our load is a soul to come
After all is said and done
Our load is to lose it all
And love the loss we’ve won
Loss we’ve won

Oh to love the loss
Love the loss we’ve won
Love always leads to loss
After all is said and done
Said and done

Our load is to carry forth
On some path that’s way too long
Our load is to hear the cries
All daughters and all sons
Our load is a soul to come
After all is said and done
Our load is to lose it all
And love the loss we’ve won
Loss we’ve won
