Burden Of Freedom

Kris Kristofferson

 DDsus2D
I stand on the stairway    
 G
My back to the dungeon
 A
The doorway to freedom
 D
So close to my hand
 G
And voices behind me
 D
So bitterly damn me
 A
For seeking salvation
 DDsus2D
They dont understand        

Chorus:
Gm?
Lord, help me to shoulder
 D
The burden of freedom
Gm?
And give me the courage
 A
To be what I can
 D
And when I am wounded
 G
By those who condemn me
 A
Lord, help me forgive them
 DDsus2D
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:
Gm?
Lord, help me to shoulder
 D
The burden of freedom
Gm?
And give me the courage
 A
To be what I can
 D
And when I have wounded
 G
The last one who loved me
 A
God help her forgive me
 DDsus2D
I dont understand.
