Cross To Bear Songtext / Lyric

Something appears in my field of vision

I close my eyes and I wonder why

That life itself is just a biblical fiction

Who do you believe in?

How can I lose myself?



And you go wandering for 40 days and 40 nights

And you keep searching for the treasures of the Nile

They are just memories of things that prophets used to say



They cannot help you now, a million miles away



Let's hit rewind

Some cosmic get-together

Just you and I

We go beyond forever

There is no time



It's truly now or never

No use pretending you don't care



Everybody's got a worried mind






Everybody's got a cross to bear

Everybody's got an axe to grind

Everybody's got to breathe the air



I've seen Ghandi, Krishnamurti, Jesus and the King



You quote the Son of Man while you destroy the Earth your mother

You build your fortress in the sand

You are the one who leads you

You say you're starving while you bite the hand that feeds you



Let's hit rewind

Some cosmic get-together

Just you and I

We go beyond forever

There is no time

It's truly now or never

No use pretending you don't care

Everybody's got a worried mind

Everybody's got a cross to bear

Everybody's got an axe to grind

Everybody's got to breathe the air

Don't shout, I got mine

It's all about me and I'm next in line

Get a life, I'm not lazy

Maybe thinking all the gods are crazy

Been there, done that, out of my face

Got to be a winner in the human race

It's your lesson, know your place

Let's hit rewind

Some cosmic get-together

Just you and I

We go beyond forever

There is no time

It's truly now or never

No use pretending you don't care

Everybody's got a worried mind

Everybody's got a cross to bear

Everybody's got an axe to grind

Everybody's got to breathe the air
