They call life a gift
Something so precious we should
Treasure every second of it
But what if life isn’t a gift
What if it’s just a burden
Placed on each of us to bear
Without wish or whim
Or even a question
So you take your burden and you do your best
But this burden is life
And life isn’t that simple
And every single day
You play the hand you were dealt
Like it was the hand you wanted
But it all comes at you
Loud and fast and hard
It’s not good enough
It’s not good enough
You’re not good enough
And at night you lie awake
Wondering if the next day will be any different
But it never is
Because we’re all bearing the burden of life
A burden we call a treasure
