Burn Me Down

Wash my hands until they hurt

Wipe ‘m off in the dirt

I throw a rock to break a stone

Saddle me with something heavy

I’ll embrace the load I carry

Another rock to break the stone

Burn me down

Burn me down

My roots deep in the ground

Burn me down

Burn me down

Like a weed I will thrive

Glowin’ ashes on my land

I can scatter seeds by hand

I close my eyes to see the wind

A baby’s teardrop in the gloom

All it takes to make them bloom

Petals flying in the wind

Burn me down

Burn me down

My roots deep in the ground

Burn me down

Burn me down

Like a weed, I will thrive

How a stone can spark a fire

What’s Freedom in the mire

How a stone can spark a fire

And why, oh why

Oh, why

Burn me down

Burn me down

Like I weed I will survive

Burn me down

Burn me down

Like a weed, my roots deep in the ground
