The Burden Anthem

This world was barren, but full of life

Empty of buildings, and oh so ripe

And the animals saw us, even at night,

But they were helpless, we'd win the fight

On civilizations, we woke up

Traveling cross towns, knew what was right

The congregations arose, just out of spite

And some understood, they got to see light

And we have leaders

But we can lead ourselves

Who do we become

When the leaders lead us?

Idea of money and job, 

And all the steps involved

The time and energy, 

The system needs to evolve

Why such an enemy, 

And so removed from love

This place is full of stories

And the metaphors can travel everywhere

This place is heaven and hell

It can change at every corner

We created this world

Created these burdens

The river may have been straight

But we've made it perverted

And some will say, "We're powerless"

And really then the imagination's lost.

We got ourselves in, can get ourselves out

Come together to see what the big pictures about
