Baggage
Words and Music by Marjorie Savoe

Well I've been carrying it around with me
Since I just don't know when
And every time I lay it down
I pick it up again
I love my baggage
And I don't wanna let it go
It's a shame and it's a sin
But I'm pickin' it up again
I love my baggage

Well I know that there are memories
That I should just forget
And I could let 'em go
But I ain't done dwellin' on 'em yet
Cuz I love my baggage
And I don't wanna let it go
It's a shame and it's a sin
But I'm pickin' it up again
I love my baggage

There are things I'm hanging on to
That I know you despise
And I'll never let 'em go
Until I see them through your eyes
You hate my baggage
But you carried it for me
You carried all my weight
And you paid the shipping rate to set me free

If I'm ever gonna follow you
I've gotta count the cost
I've gotta lay my baggage down
And pick up my cross
I love my baggage
But I've carried it to long
It's a shame and it's a sin
And it's time to trade it in
It's time to lay it down
Exchange it for a crown
Got nothing left to lose
So I'm tradin' in these blues
For a victory song
