Sometimes I'm too tired to pray
'Cause it feels like nothing ever changes
But I never really say it
It's so hard to say it
The more I try to pretend
The more the weight caves in
And I can't stop it
No, I can't stop

My soul from crying out
My soul keeps crying out
Oh Lord, and I'm screaming inside

Somebody take the load off of my shoulders
It's too heavy, I can't hold it no more, no more
I wasn't meant to carry this mountain
Or bury it down in my soul
I was meant to share this burden

I gotta fall down to rise
If I wanna live, I gotta die
I gotta know the darkness to show the light

And my soul keeps crying out
My soul keeps crying out
Oh no, and I'm screaming inside

Somebody take a load offa my shoulders
It's too heavy, I can't hold it no more, no more
I wasn't meant to carry this mountain
Or bury it down in my soul
Yeah, I was meant to share this burden

Brothers, sisters
We gotta share this burden, we gotta share this burden
Brothers, sisters
We gotta share this burden, we gotta share this burden
So brothers, sisters
We gotta share this burden, we gotta share this burden

Somebody take the load off of my shoulders
It's too heavy, I can't hold it no more, no more
I wasn't meant to carry this mountain
Or bury it down in my soul
Yeah, I was meant to share this burden
Oh, oh
Yeah, I was meant to share this burden
