Looking down a young man's seen Wanting what's past everything He takes a knee to pray A father trains his king to be But it's the night that he runs free He walks along castle walls And looks upon and there he'd give up it all We lay our burdens down Lord we burn 'em to the ground We take our turn and die For our souls to come alive He found himself in foreign land No one else with him to stand but The madman the drunkard and he Together they went traveling on Singing friends we have become He turns to the call He gave up it all We lay our burdens down Lord we burn 'em to the ground We take our turn and die For our souls to come alive He remembers this one time When he saw a small child For one moment give one One small smile And he thought that maybe That maybe the smile was meant for him That the smile was meant for him We lay our burdens down Lord we burn 'em to the ground We take our turn and die For our souls to come alive
