Carry the weight of the world on your shoulders

Refuse to give up, refuse to give in

Think you have mastered the art of transendence

But I know the truth lies within

And you're breakin' your back for nothin'

 

Chorus: Don't make up the rules, it's hard as it is

             So lay down your load on me

             Just lay down that load, honey

 

Break down the walls, like secrets confided

Lighten your burden and set yourself free

Running on empty you're fierce in the struggle

But I know the truth lies within

And you're breakin' your back for nothin' (chorus)

 

Bridge: Beauty is here all around

              Don't let this world get you down

 

And you're breakin' your back for nothin' (chorus)
