  • Let me carry your burden
    If something's not right I will let you know
    Like the paint that's drying on a heart that's poor
    Let me carry your burden
    Get you back on a high when you're feeling low
    When the weight is too heavy but you won't let go

    Come to me, my brother, and I will sit with you a while
    Pretty soon I'll see you smile and you know you will
    No matter how much you're hurting right now
    You know that everything will change in time
    So let me carry your burden

    Let me carry your burden
    When your might's on fire but your mind is cold
    And you're fighting flames that won't keep you warm

    Come to me, my brother, and I will sit with you a while
    Pretty soon I'll see you smile and you know you will
    No matter how much you're hurting right now
    You know that everything will change in time
    Let me carry your burden, oh brother of mine

    Let me carry your burden
    Come tomorrow you'll be right as rain
    In a quench of fire wash away your stain

    Oh come to me, my brother, and I will sit with you a while
    Pretty soon I see you smile and you know you will
    No matter how much you're hurting right now
    You know that everything will change in time
    Oh, I just might see you in another light
    Got no dog here in the fight
    I could carry your burden, oh brother of mine Writer/s: Foy Vance
