burden of freedom chords by Kris Kristofferson

I stand on the stairway,
Em
my back to the dungeon

The doorway to freedom so

close to my hand
Em

Voices behind me still bitterly

For seeking salvation
they don't understand

G
Lord, help me to shoulder
D
the burden of freedom
G

And give me the courage to be what I can

those who condemn me

them; they don't understand

Their lonely frustration,
Em
descending to laughter
A
Erases the footprints I

And I'm free to travel

where no one can follow
Em
A
In search of the kingdom they
don't understand
D

the last one who loved me

God, help her forgive
me; I don't understand

burden of freedom
