Nobody's Burden

There's a weight on their shoulders nobody can see,

A battle in the mind that won't just let them be,

They smile through the storm and they carry it alone,

Fighting wars inside a heart that nobody has known.

They reach out for help but the help is out of reach,

The cost of getting better is a mountain they can't breach,

Not because they're weak and not because they quit,

The system left them behind and they're drowning in it.

(Chorus)

Nobody's burden, nobody's blame,

Just a soul in the darkness trying to stay in the game,

They need our love, they need our time, they need us to care,

Nobody should be left alone with more than they can bear.

They're not a burden, they just need a hand,

A little understanding, someone who will stand,

Beside them in the darkness when the world walks away,

Just one person saying you're gonna be okay.

The lonely ones are sitting in a room all by themselves,

Their stories going untold just collecting dust on shelves,

Nobody really asks them how they're doing inside,

And so they keep on hurting with nowhere left to hide.

(Chorus)

Nobody's burden, nobody's blame,

Just a soul in the darkness trying to stay in the game,

They need our love, they need our time, they need us to care,

Nobody should be left alone with more than they can bear.

It is not their fault the mind works the way it does,

They never chose this life, they never chose because,

They deserve the same compassion that we give to broken bones,

A hurting mind is just as real and nobody should face it alone.

(Bridge)

If you've ever felt invisible, like no one hears your cry,

Like you're screaming in a crowded room and nobody asks why,

Just know that you are worthy, you are seen, you matter here,

And the world is a better place just knowing that you're near.

(Chorus)

Nobody's burden, nobody's blame,

Just a soul in the darkness trying to stay in the game,

They need our love, they need our time, they need us to care,

Nobody should be left alone with more than they can bear.

(Chorus)

Nobody's burden, nobody's blame,

Just a soul in the darkness trying to stay in the game,

They need our love, they need our time, they need us to care,

Nobody should be left alone with more than they can bear.
