The Burden

Some people take the sun with them

Everywhere they go

They greet their lives with gratitude each day

How they come to be like that

I can’t say that I know

It’s something that you sense a mile away

I’ve known you for a lifetime

I’ve stood there by your side

Watching over you right from the start

In the safety of your mother’s arms

In the calling of the wild

I always had your interest at heart

Now that it’s your turn to

Bear The Burden

I won’t let you carry it alone

There will come a day when I will

Greet you by the shore

And you’ll know that you were never on your own

Standing at a crossroads

Time to roll the dice

Carry on, no matter what comes along

Life shines in your eyes

When you’re down and weary

And the pain won’t go away

Take my hand

I’ll pull you from that hole

Listen to your heart

And you will never go astray

The song is right there

Waiting in your soul

All the moments you spend thinking

’Bout everything that could go wrong

Are the moments that you’re wasting

Singing someone else’s song
