Treasure of the burden

Verse 1

I’ve been stacking up the weight inside my chest,

All the broken nights I never confessed.

Doubt like stones and fear like chains,

I’ve been hiding it all, but it still remains.

Pre-Chorus

And I tell myself I’ll let it go someday,

But the truth is it never fades away.

Chorus

This is the treasure I’ve been holding—

The pain, the scars, the silent hoping.

All the bad things I can’t erase,

Locked inside, I call it grace.

Through the anger, through the crying,

Through the endless, quiet fighting,

Every shadow is gold I can’t replace—

A treasure buried deep in this broken place.

Verse 2

Every doubt’s a coin I never spend,

Every fear’s a jewel that won’t pretend.

I carry them heavy, I carry them near,

A fortune built on silence and fear.

Pre-Chorus

Maybe we all got a chest like mine,

Full of darkness dressed up to shine.

Chorus

This is the treasure I’ve been holding—

The pain, the scars, the silent hoping.

All the bad things I can’t erase,

Locked inside, I call it grace.

Through the anger, through the crying,

Through the endless, quiet fighting,

Every shadow is gold I can’t replace—

A treasure buried deep in this broken place.

Bridge

If I open it up, would the world understand,

Or would it slip right through their hands?

’Cause even the worst still makes us whole,

Even the dark has shaped my soul.

Final Chorus

This is the treasure I’ve been holding—

The doubt, the hurt, the fear unfolding.

All the bad things I can’t erase,

Still shining in their hidden space.

Through the anger, through the crying,

Through the endless, quiet fighting,

Every shadow is gold I can’t replace—

A treasure buried deep in this broken place.

Outro

It’s the treasure I never chose…

But it’s the only one I know.
