Burden Lyrics

All the words in my head have been written

All the songs have been sung too

I wish I could find something special and unique

So I could write it down and sing it to you

I've been carrying the world for too long

Try to make it bend to my will

But like an ant screaming at the mountains

I'm wasting my time and that's a bitter pill

So climb on board my son, I will shoulder the load

Load me up and we'll stride on down this wide and open road

Feel the wind at your back and the sweat on your brow

For we are made of steel and to fail is not allowed

Some of my friends have fallen by the wayside

Too tired to keep to the rhythm of my life

Others still stand by my side despite it all

Back to back we fight against the strife

So climb on board my son, I will shoulder the load

Load me up and we'll stride on down this wide and open road

Feel the wind at your back and the sweat on your brow

For we are made of steel and to fail is not allowed

I've been carrying the world for too long

Try to make it bend to my will

But like an ant screaming at the mountains

I'm wasting my time and that's a bitter pill

So climb on board my son, I will shoulder the load

Load me up and we'll stride on down this wide and open road

Feel the wind at your back and the sweat on your brow

For we are made of steel and to fail is not allowed

So climb on board my son, I will shoulder the load

Load me up and we'll stride on down this wide and open road

Feel the wind at your back and the sweat on your brow

For we are made of steel and to fail, to fail is not allowed
