Burden Of Freedom

<br>I stand on the stairway my back to the dungeon<br>The doorway to freedom so close to my hand<br>While voices behind me still bitterly damn me<br>For seeking salvation they don`t understand<br>Lord help me to shoulder the burden of freedom<br>And give me the courage to be what I can<br>And when I am wounded by those who condemn me<br>Lord help me forgive them they don`t understand<br>[ steel ]<br>Their lonely frustration descending the laughter<br>Erases the footprints I leave in the sand<br>Now I`m free to travel where no one can follow<br>In search of the kingdom they don`t understand<br>Lord help me to shoulder the burden of freedom<br>And give me the courage to be what I can<br>And when I have wounded by those who condemned me<br>Lord help me forgive them they don`t understand
