C D
I stand on the stairway my back to the dungeon
G C
The doorway to freedom so close to my hand
D G C
The voices is around me now bitterly damn me
D G C
For seekin' salvation they don't understand
[Chorus]
F C
Lord help me to shoulder this burden of freedom
F G
And give me the courage to be what I am
C D
And when I am wounded by those who condemn me
G C
Oh Farter forgive them they don't understand
[Verse]
D
Their lonely frustration descending to laughter
G C
Erases the footprints I leave in the sand
D G C
But I'm free to travel where no one can follow
D G C
In search of the kingdom they don't understand
[Chorus/Outro]
F C
Lord help me to shoulder this burden of freedom
F G
And give me the courage to be what I am
C D
And when I am wounded by those who condemn me
G C
Oh Farter forgive them they don't understand
G C
Oh Farter forgive them they don't understand
