lyrics

Friend of mine, lay down your burden
It hurts too much
Till we're wise, till we're stronger
It's better than happiness

Friend of mine lay down your burden
It shakes too much
Till we're calm, till we're stable
It's better than happiness

Friend of mine lay down your burden
It's too dark
Till we're clear, till we're shining
It's better than happiness.
