Their lonely frustration
Descending to laughter
Erases the footprints
I leave in the sand
But Im free to travel
Where no one can follow
In search of the kingdom
They dont understand

                 Gm?
Lord, help me to shoulder
                DThe (xx0232@1)burden of freedom
                 Gm?
And give me the courage
            ATo (x02220@1)be what I can
                 DAnd (xx0232@1)when I have wounded
                 GThe (320003@1)last one who loved me
                 AGod (x02220@1)help her forgive me
             D (xx0232@1)  Dsus2 (xx0230@1)  DI (xx0232@1)dont understand.
