The Burden Video (MV)

I try to slow my thoughts down
But they just keep on pacing
Keep on pacing
I try to breathe it through
But my mind it just keeps on racing
Keeps on racing
Oh why, why do I fall into doubt?
Fall into doubt
Life, life full ups and downs
Ups and downs
I try to hold my head up
And not let up
But then I get fed up
And wanna give up
But I gotta get up
Yeah all it takes
Is a bit of commitment
Stay willing to go get it
Embrace the moment you're in
And live in it to win it

Yeah this pain it keeps on hurting
Yeah this pain it keeps on burning
Yeah this pain is a burden
But I know I will get through it
Greatness is what I'm birthing
Yeah this pain it keeps on hurting
Yeah this pain it keeps on burning
Yeah this pain is a burden
But I know I will get through it
Greatness is what I'm birthing

Life can be a challenge
But really it's on how you make it
On how you make it
Tired of playing small
'Cause this life I don't wanna waste it
Don't wanna waste it
Trying, trying to stay strong
To stay strong
Lying, lying in these fearful thoughts
These fearful thoughts
Anxiety kicking in
Lying to me again
Inside of me it begins
Inside of me it'll end
It's time I face
What I've been too afraid to face
It's my face I shall face
This phase shall pass
And peace will stand in its place
For within is my security
And within is where I'll rid my insecurity

Yeah this pain it keeps on hurting
Yeah this pain it keeps on burning
Yeah this pain is a burden
But I know I will get through it
Greatness is what I'm birthing
Yeah this pain it keeps on hurting
Yeah this pain it keeps on burning
Yeah this pain is a burden
But I know I will get through it
Greatness is what I'm birthing

Pain, yeah what is pain?
Is it all thought patterns
In our brain
Based on how we were raised
And what we think
And how we live
And what we do
If we're resistant to change?
Resistant to change
Yeah I know a lot about that
Feeling better
Man, I don't know why I doubt that
Stayed stubborn
Living in my slumber to suffer
And how's that?
It's misery
So I had to rediscover
Who I am
And pull myself up from the gutter
And let the pain uncover
Reveal that which I was afraid to see
I was afraid to see
Afraid of peace
But no more living in the shadows
Faced my shadows
Walked away from the battles
Broke free from the shackles
Turned off the channels
And let the truth unravel
Now I'm a free man on his travels
Putting the knife down
'Cause life now is what I handle

Yeah this pain it keeps on hurting
Yeah this pain it keeps on burning
Yeah this pain is a burden
But I know I will get through it
Greatness is what I'm birthing
Yeah this pain it keeps on hurting
Yeah this pain it keeps on burning
Yeah this pain is a burden
But I know I will get through it
Greatness is what I'm birthing
