[Verse 1]
Cold is the night without You here
Just your absence ringin' in my ears
And hard is the heart that feels no fear
'Cause without the bad, the good disappears

[Verse 2]
Long is the road that leads me home
And longer still when I walk alone
Bitter is the thought of all that time
Spent searchin' for somethin' I'll never find

[Chorus]
Take this burden away from me
And bury it before it buries me

[Verse 3]
Many are the days I've wanted to cease
Lay myself down and find some relief
Heavy is the head that gets no sleep
We carry our lives around in our memories

[Chorus]
So take away this apathy
Bury it before it buries me
[Verse 4]
Steady is the hand that's come to terms
With the lessons it has had to learn
I've seen the things that I must do
But Lord, this road is meant for two
So I am waiting here for You

[Chorus]
So take my hand and set me free
Take my burdens and bury them deep
Take this burden away from me
Bury it before
Bury it before
Bury it before it buries me
