In a little country village
|
I met a man and he was blind
|
As I helped him cross the highway
|
I cried thy burdens are greater than mine
|
|
I can see the light of day
|
And I need not feel my way
|
Yes thy burdens
|
|
Saw a lad well on his travels
|
Trying hard to play the game
|
Though his leg was very crippled
|
And he could not speak his name
|
|
Still he smiled in understanding
|
Though life to him had been unkind
|
As I watched I thought in sorrow
|
Son thy burdens
|
|
I can speak my name aloud
|
Make my way among the crowd
|
Yes thy burdens
|
|
Just by chance I passed a graveyard
|
Saw a young man kneeling there
|
In his hand there were some roses
|
On his lips there was a prayer
|
|
On a stone these words were written
|
My soul is God's my memory thine
|
As I watched I thought in sorrow
|
Friends thy burdens
|
|
I'm just a drifter all alone
|
I got no friends I got no home
|
Yes thy burdens A¡¦
|
