The Burden of Freedom
written by Kris Kristofferson
3/8/06
INTRO: D Em A D
D Em
I stand on the stairway, my back to the dungeon
A D
The doorway to freedom so close to my hand
Em A D
And voices behind me still bitterly damn me
Em A D
For seekin' salvation they don't understand
CHORUS:
G Cadd9-G D
Lord help me to shoulder the burden of freedom
G Cadd9-G A7
And give me the courage to be what I can
D Em
And when I am wounded by those who condemn me
A D
Lord help me forgive them, they don't understand
D Em
Their lonely frustration descending to laugher
A D
Erases the footprints I leave in the sand
Em A D
And I'm free to travel where no one can follow
Em A D
In search of the Kingdom they don't understand
CHORUS:
G Cadd9-G D
Lord help me to shoulder the burden of freedom
G Cadd9-G A7
And give me the courage to be what I can
D Em
And when I have wounded the last one who loved me
A D
God help her forgive me, I don't understand
