Intro: G A D
I stand on the s[D]tai[Dsus2]rway[D]
My back to the [G]dungeon
The doorway to [A]freedom
So close to my [D]hand
And voices behi[G]nd me
So bitterly da[D]mn me
For seeking s[A]alvation
They dont und[D]ersta[Dsus2]nd[D]

Chorus:
Gm?
Lord, help me to shoulder
The burden of [D]freedom
Gm?
And give me the courage
To be what I [A]can
And when I am w[D]ounded
By those who co[G]ndemn me
Lord, help me forg[A]ive them
They dont und[D]ersta[Dsus2]nd[D]
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:
Gm?
Lord, help me to shoulder
The burden of fr[D]eedom
Gm?
And give me the courage
To be what I[A] can
And when I have w[D]ounded
The last one who [G]loved me
God help her forg[A]ive me
I dont unders[D]tand.[Dsus2][D]
