lyrics

The Terrible Burden

The wind may blow … all across the land
The rain may leave … all the trees sparkling new
The sun may dawn … on a brighter, cleaner, new day
But I’ll never know

The sea may clean … all along the sand
The moon, the stars, the welcome night … may calm those troubled souls
The soft breeze may lift … the uncertain heart of Man
But I’ll never know

Until this terrible burden
Until this terrible burden
Until this terrible burden
Until this terrible burden is removed

Every bird can sing … the promises of Spring
And lovers can kiss … each other’s tears away
Heart can break and mend … and mend and break again
But I’ll never know

Rivers can disappear … before they reach the sea
Fires can flare up and burn away … or never be
And all of our good … may be crowned with brotherhood
But I’ll never know

Amber grains may wave … across the fruited plains
Purple mountains may reign … under spacious skies
And even God … may apologize
But I’ll never know
