Nature's Burden

He pictured himself all alone on the road
Sweet summer sky, the desert red shine; he's home
History teaches this man to be true
Just say what you will bro, watch how you go
Be mindful to carry just one thing
Wherever you go

He met a good man in a town he passed by on the way
Who said he saw the last of his kind
Must have been a year today
The weight of this hope is too much for just one man, he said
Let's bear it together, make something better
Give hope to the hopeless and then
Lend them a hand

And the days flow like seconds
Out here the shadows run faster than men
You can see nature's burden in their face
Time, it may weary the traveller's soul, just watch her get old
Yet with age comes wisdom and grace
With age comes wisdom and grace

Oh
What did we expect the to do
Oh
Tell me how come, only they knew
Yet with little or no time to make this thing right
They got hope from the hopeful that shines
Spreading its light

And the days flow like seconds
Out here the shadows run faster than men
You can see nature's burden in their face
Time it may weary the traveller's soul, just watch her get old
Yet with age comes wisdom and grace
With age comes wisdom and grace
