Burden

People say God is dead
 But how can they think that
 If I show them the devil
 You will suffer greatly
 but through you many will come to see
 that the realm of the spirit is real
 I feel this pain, I feel it burn in my heart
 I know that this is a test
 To make me stronger
 You tell me this is my cross
 That I bear for the weak
 I'll give you all that I am, You're my blood
 You're my strength
 Now learn, and live through this
 and let it burn
 Don't let this burden flee from me
 till the lesson is complete
 Because the pain is teaching me
 Who I need to be
 The clarity is getting stronger
 My heart is teaching me
 what my eyes can't see
 You wrote your name on my heart
 I am the sparrow
 I bear this pain in your name
 It makes me stronger
 Now learn and live through this
 And let it burn
 Don't let this burden flee from me
 till the lesson is complete
 Because the pain is teaching me
 Who I need to be
 Why did the demons not leave me tonight
 You can come with me in peace free of your bodily form or you can choose to continue this
 the choice is yours
 I choose to stay
 Don't let this burden flee from me
 till the lesson is complete
 Because the pain is teaching me
 Who I need to be
 About the man I want to be
 For all the ones who count on me
 Because the pain is teaching me
 Who I need to be
