kris kristofferson – the burden of freedom lyrics
i stand on the stairway
my back to the dungeon
the doorway to freedom
so close to my hand
and voices behind me
so bitterly d-mn me
for seeking salvation
they don’t understand
chorus:
lord, help me to shoulder
the burden of freedom
and give me the courage
to be what i can
and when i am wounded
by those who condemn me
lord, help me forgive them
they don’t understand
their lonely frustration
descending to laughter
erases the footprints
i leave in the sand
but i’m free to travel
where no one can follow
in search of the kingdom
they don’t understand
chorus:
lord, help me to shoulder
the burden of freedom
and give me the courage
to be what i can
and when i have wounded
the last one who loved me
lord, help her forgive me
i don’t understand.
