Above My Burdens

[Verse 1]
Sometimes the path is dark and narrow
With briars and branches closing in
Can't see on to where you're going
You can't turn back to where you've been
Phantoms reach out from the darkness
Memories claw out from the night
But there ahead, through the bramble
Breaks a brilliant morning light

[Chorus]
Lift me up above my burdens
Take what courage I can find
Help me trust the pace of nature
Nothing rushed, nothing left behind

[Verse 2]
There were those who came before me
And their words, I cast aside
Spent the best years of my lifetime
Thinking none knew more than I
If there are those with ears to listen
Hear me now, above your pride
Tend to spirit, song and family
Nothing more will you require

[Chorus]
Lift me up above my burdens
Take what courage I can find
Help me trust the pace of nature
Nothing rushed, nothing left behind

[Bridge]
I will be no more discouraged
With fear and worry, I am through
There comes a spring after winter
And the old becomes the new

[Chorus]
Lift me up above my burdens
Take what courage I can find
Help me trust the pace of nature
Nothing rushed, nothing left behind

[Outro]
Nothing rushed, nothing left behind
