[Verse 1]
In the land of hush, where all is still,
roamed a man of porcelain, pure of heart and steady will.

He saw the sorrow in forgotten souls, bent by unspoken pain,
in those who, unseen, unheard, walked on through never-ending rain.

To lift their burdens was his gift ... yet always at a price;
each time he helped, it left a mark ... unseen by earthly eyes.

His skin was strewn with shining cracks ... testament to his grace;
yet for them he paid the toll, a smile upon his face.

[Pre-Chorus]
He took what no one wanted and carried it along the way,
in hidden baskets on his back he sealed their weight away.

[Chorus 1]
How much more will you shoulder, all alone?
You too have limits ... they will be shown.

Mankind’s burden isn’t yours to take;
remember ... before it is too late.

Who only gives will not survive;
just taking grants no peace in life.

harmony is key ... so be aware ...
that none should carry more ...
than they can bear ...

than they can bear.

[Verse 2]
He took the widow’s grief ... each shade of her despair,
reborn each time her trembling gaze fell on that empty chair.

He brought peace to the soldier, trapped in endless fright,
haunted by pleading souls whose cries rang through the night.

He took the guilt the child had claimed ... the blame it held at heart ...
for that final quarrel that tore its parents’ love apart.

[Break]

[Bridge]
So his burden swelled and deepened with each passing day.
Until he shattered at the forest’s hem, where mourning shadows lay.

[Pre-Chorus]
The air grew thick with pain ... with sorrow breaking free;
He vowed to hold it fast, for all eternity.

[Chorus 2 - powerful]
You couldn't shoulder it all, not alone.
This was your limit ... it has been shown.

Mankind’s burden wasn’t yours to take.
You went too far ... now it's too late.

Who only gives will not survive;
just taking grants no peace in life.

Harmony is key ... you didn’t care ...
that none should carry more ...
than they can bear ...

than they can bear.

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Still he lay beside his baskets, not a whisper, not a word;
yet people sensed, deep within, a mournful song they barely heard.

In gentle care they came, each with a piece of new born light;
the child brought laughter ... freed from guilt, now easy was his stride.

The soldier carried peace with him, it shimmered on his face;
the widow came with gratitude, new hope alive within her gaze.

They made him whole again ... together, piece by piece.

Through kindness, he was blessed,
and no one could have ever guessed:

[Bridge - powerful]
The air turned light, its grief now gone ... the baskets emptied bare;
into the void had faded what he had locked up there.

A deeper truth began to grow ...
their deeds had sparked true wisdom’s glow:

[Powerful]
We all need arms to steady us when our world begins to shake,
to give us strength and keep us safe before we finally break.

Kindness has to move in circles; it’s no one-way road,
and no one has to walk alone ... we can share the load ...

[Final-Chorus - powerful]
Together we can shoulder it all ... not alone!
You cannot heal this world ... on your own.

Mankind’s burden we can lift, hand in hand
but we need to understand:

Who only gives will not survive;
just taking grants no peace in life.

Harmony is key ... so let's take care ...
that none must carry more ...
than they can bear ...

than they can bear.

[End]
