lyrics

Burdened
Words & Music: Hitoshi Yamaguchi

Do you worry ’bout the future, do you muddy up the past
Feeling trapped by your circumstances, how long will it last
’Til today becomes tomorrow, and your fear will see new hope
When bitter memories find a sweetness, you knew not long ago

Are you burdened, are you troubled
Are you trying to bust out of here on the double
Are you worried, is there something
That’s been keeping you up at night, restless wondering

The weight of it all, the weight of the fall
It’s not the whole world on your shoulders
Slaving your life away, day after every day
Climbing your hills, and pushing your boulders

Are you burdened, are you troubled
Are you trying to bust out of here on the double
Are you worried, is there something
That’s been keeping you up at night, restless wondering

Have you ever born such suffering, ever known such pain
Ever felt like all your hollow prayers were shouted out in vain
When you're more afraid to live than die
When you're losing all your hope to try

It feels like you're on your own, it feels like the end
Waiting for deliverance, for whatever mercy sends
It hurts to be broken, and it might hurt to be healed
But I know Job, he suffered, and the reason why was not revealed

Are you burdened, are you troubled
Are you trying to bust out of here on the double
Are you worried, is there something
That’s been keeping you up at night, restless wondering
It’s been keeping you up at night, restless wondering
What’s been keeping you up at night, restless wondering
