Burden Of Freedom Chords

C Dm I stand on the stairway my back to the dungeon G7 C The doorway to freedom so close to my hand Dm G7 C Voices behind me still bitterly damn me Dm G7 C For seekin' salvation they don't understand F C Lord help me to shoulder the burden of freedom F G7 And give me the courage to be what I can C Dm And when I am wounded by those who condemn me

G7 C Lord help me forgive them they don't understand Dm Their lonely frustration descending to laughter G7 C Erases the footprints I leave in the sand Dm G7 C And I'm free to travel where no one can follow Dm G7 C In search of the kingdom they don't understand F C Lord help me to shoulder the burden of freedom F G7 And give me the courage to be what I can C Dm And when I have wounded the last one who loved me G7 C
