6: "Two Burdens"

I came upon a beautiful land
And I was burdened by the joy that I felt
When from my hand, like grains of sand
That vision of beauty did melt

So I put my feet in front of me
A shoulder's width apart
And did not grieve the sigh I breathed
I carried that yoke upon my heart

Then I bent down and felt my crown
Descending from my head
And heard inside, "Maybe death to pride,
Could bring up life instead."

So I laid to rest my puffed up chest
Resolved to lay it all
For I am but man, captive of this land
Let that rain of mercy fall

You swallowed up the fear in me
I'm no longer slave to slavery
So I took up the plow and dug in deep
When there's nothing left in me
There's everything
