The Burden of Pain
Pain is a burden
so we bury it deep
we drag it to bed
and nurse it to sleep.
When we open our eyes
we begin to weep.
Pain is a burden
we bury deep.
We lock it away in a chamber
with the secrets we keep
somewhere in our hearts
buried deep.
Where it grows and it grows
into a giant heap.
Pain is a burden
we bury deep.
It engulfs us in misery
even as we reap...
in the end,
I suppose I’ll leap.
Because pain is a burden
We bury deep
