[Intro] [Hook] Since our journey began, The thorns grew around, Every step we'd take! [Breakdown] [Verse] Intellectually, I know what I must do, Yet there still stings, Thorns I can't seem, To be rid of, No matter how I try, There are pieces, Events of my life, That seem like, They won't die... [Hook] Is there something, Wrong with me? [Verse] No, For all have lived, Through brambles, thick, Clearing the path, To resist, Though the lessons, Seeped in, The thorns leak them, Following the footsteps, Of those before, Who wrestled with, The same tasks, [Hook] Since our journey began, The thorns grew around, Every step we'd take! [Guitar Hook] [Violin Solo] [Breakdown] [Pre-Chorus] Oh and this crown of thorns, Is the price we pay, For the ability, Of higher thinking, We've gained, [Chorus] With choice lies gifts, And at the same time, Curses, For when dawn breaks, Shadow is made, There's not one, Without the other, Humanity's blessings, Humanity's troubles, [Post-Chorus] Yet, still, I wish, oh, Someone could remove, These thorns from me... [Breakdown] [Pre-Bridge] (oooh ahh ooh aahh ooh!) (oooh ahh ooh aahh ooh!) (oooh ahh ooh aahh ooh!) (oooh ahh ooh aahh ooh!) [Bridge] Brother, Sister, Whatever is- Is true, Noble, Whatever is right, Pure, Lovely, Admirable, If anything is excellent, Praise-worthy- Worthy- Think of these... Think of these... Think of these! [Hook] Since our journey began, The thorns grew around, Every step we'd take! [Pre-Chorus] Oh and this crown of thorns, Is the price we pay, For the ability, Of higher thinking, We've gained, [Chorus] With choice lies gifts, And at the same time, Curses, For when dawn breaks, Shadow is made, There's not one, Without the other, Humanity's blessings, Humanity's troubles, [Post-Chorus] Yet, still, I wish, oh, Someone could remove, These thorns from me... [Refrain] Do we not know? Do we not know? Do we not know? Do we not know? We need not be, Burdened by these thorns. [Outro]
