Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let me carry your burden
Something is not right, I will let you know
Like the paint that's drying on a heart that's broke
[Verse 2]
Let me carry your burden
Get you back on a high when you're feeling low
When the weight is to heavy but you won't let go
[Verse 3]
Come to me, my brother, and I will sit with you a while
Pretty soon I'll see you smile and you know you will
No matter how much you're hurting right now
You know everything will change in time
So let me carry your burden
[Verse 4]
Let me carry your burden
When you met some fire but your mind is cool
And you're fanning flames that won't keep you warm
[Verse 5]
Come to me, my brother, and I will sit with you a while
Pretty soon I'll see you smile and you know you will
No matter how much you're hurting right now
You know everything will change in time
Let me carry your burden, o brother mine
[Verse 6]
Let me carry your burden
Come tomorrow you'll be right as rain
It'll quench your fire wash away your stains
[Verse 7]
Come to me, my brother, and I will sit with you a while
Pretty soon I'll see you smile and you know you will
No matter how much you're hurting right now
You know everything will change in time
[Verse 8]
Oh I just might see it in another light
God no dog here in the fight
I could carry your burden, o brother mine
