"Your Cross To Bear" lyrics

Have mercy you got caught between
A rock and a hard place
Tied up like some concubine
Strugglin' in the wrong race

You would not hear the truth
It was knockin' down your door
We've all seen the proof
You kept coming back for more

You stand there tortured
By this misfortune
The warning signs were everywhere
You can't go hiding
No need denying
Its time to bite the bullet now
This is your cross to bear

Your people finally had enough
Was such a sight to witness
You did anything that you could do
To buy back their forgiveness
Hey!
Just watch that money go

It's all in plain sight
Yeah you have lost your mind
How do you sleep at night
The ghosts are creepin' up behind

Oh so tortured
By this misfortune
The warning signs were everywhere
Spare us all your crying
No need denying
Now you've finally found out
This is your cross to bear

Oh so many things are so much clearer
Its too late for you to choose to change
Now you're living in my rearview mirror
You called this thunder down
You get to own this pain

Hey boy
You're still livin' in the past
Go on and take some more
Hey what do you stand for

Oh so tortured
By this misfortune
The warning signs were everywhere
You can't go hiding
Don't try denying
Its time to bite the bullet now
(Oh so tortured)
By your misfortune
The warning signs were everywhere
Spare us all your cryin'
No need denyin'
How's it feel to find out
This is your cross to bear
