Verse 1
I feel it burning in my chest tonight
A weight that's mine alone to bear
Something's stirring in the quiet air
And I can't shake this restless light
Pre-Chorus
They don't see what I see
In the mirror staring back
There's a fire I can't flee
On this predetermined track
Chorus
I am the one, the one who stands
When others fall and break
I am the one with trembling hands
Who'll do what it takes
(Ohhh-ahhhh)
The burden calls my name
(Ohhh-ahhhh)
I'll never be the same
Verse 2
Every morning brings a heavier crown
The voices tell me what I have to do
But in my heart I always knew
This path would lead me up, not down
Pre-Chorus
They don't see what I see
In the storms that rage ahead
There's a purpose I believe
In the words that must be said
Chorus
I am the one, the one who stands
When others fall and break
I am the one with trembling hands
Who'll do what it takes
(Ohhh-ahhhh)
The burden calls my name
(Ohhh-ahhhh)
I'll never be the same
Bridge
When the mountain crumbles down
And the sky begins to tear
I will wear this thorny crown
I will meet despair with prayer
(Ahhhh-ohhh-ahhhh)
I will rise
(Ahhhh-ohhh-ahhhh)
Through the cries
Chorus
I am the one, the one who stands
When others fall and break
I am the one with trembling hands
Who'll do what it takes
(Ohhh-ahhhh)
The burden calls my name
(Ohhh-ahhhh)
I'll carry all their shame
Outro
I feel it burning in my chest tonight
(Ohhh-ahhhh)
This weight was always mine
(Ohhh-ahhhh)
