[Verse]
D             Gm                 D      Am D7 
Life is not all that bad, my friend, hmmm
         G
If you believe in yourself
         A
If you believe there's someone
      F#m
Who walks through life with you
B             Em
You'll never be alone
         A
Just learn to reach out,
     F#m
And open your heart
B         Em
Lift up hands to God,
      A                 D
And He'll show you the way.

[Chorus]
   Am   D7    G              A/G
And He said, "Cast your burdens upon Me
               F#m          B
Those who are heavily laden,
        Em                      A
Come to Me, all of you who are tired
               D        Am D7 
Of carrying heavy loads,
         G                       A/G
For the yoke I will give you is easy
         F#m           B
And My burden is light
        Em     A                 D
Come to Me and I will give you rest."

D Gm

D                   Gm
When you feel the world
             D      Am D7
Is tumblin' down on you,
             G
And you have no one
          A           F#m B
That you can hold on to,
               Em
Just face the rising sun
        A
And you'll see hope,
              F#m          B
And there's no need to run
               Em
Lift up your hands to God,
     A                        D
And He'll make you feel all right.

[Chorus]
   Am   D7    G              A/G
And He said, "Cast your burdens upon Me
               F#m          B
Those who are heavily laden,
        Em                      A
Come to Me, all of you who are tired
               D        Am D7 
Of carrying heavy loads,
         G                       A/G
For the yoke I will give you is easy
         F#m           B
And My burden is light
        Em     A                 D
Come to Me and I will give you rest."
