Lyrics for Burden Of Life

The summer breeze, the days were long Meadow haze so callowly, those child eyes I used to feel the feelings Love that I once said I'd never rile The burden of life Just won't leave us alone And the time's never right When you're trading the sun All the love of generations Generations gone for reasons, that I know But all the times I've lost my way Crept inside, tried not to sway Like pebbles on the shore The burden of life Just won't leave us alone And the time's never right When we're trading the sun Burden of life So all the fire, the fear, the why The wisdom why you want it now No answers are there No answers of why 'Cause the burden of life Just won't leave us alone And the time's never right When you're losing a soul
