Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 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 damn me

 For seeking salvation

 They dont 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 dont understand

Their lonely frustration

Descending to laughter

Erases the footprints

I leave in the sand

But Im free to travel

Where no one can follow

In search of the kingdom

They dont 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

 God help her forgive me

 I dont understand.
