Story Behind The Song
I wanted to write a song expressing that I'll be there for the people in my life no matter what they're too ashamed to tell me at first. Carrying our baggage together makes it a lighter load on the way to surrendering it all together.

Lyrics
You've got baggage, you know it's true
Weighed down with sticks and stone
that make you walk so slow
You try to hide the load inside
but it stabs me like a knife
You've got baggage, well I do too
There's no shame with me
We will carry our load together
on the way to the gate where we can
Leave
it with the Captain
and fly into the sun
We'll be
the first to see
when blue skies come
As we walk, hand in hand
The gate is drawing close
Some stones turn to gold
your sticks are catching fire
the ashes left behind
As we walk, hand in hand
The pain makes our love all the sweeter
and the gate makes the journey worth the pain
