VERSE 1
      F              C
In a little country village
        F               C
I met a man and he was blind
     C
As I helped him across the highway
            C           G            C
I cried thy burdens are greater than mine
       F
I can see the light of day
      C
And I need not feel my way
         C          G            C
Yes thy burdens are greater than mine


VERSE 2
Saw a lad while on his travels
Trying hard to play the game
Though his legs were very crippled
And he could not speak his name

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



Still he smiled in understanding
Though life to him had been unkind
As I watched I thought in sorrow
Son thy burdens are greater than mine
I can speak my name aloud
Make my way among the crowd
Yes thy burdens are greater than mine


VERSE 3
Just by chance I passed a graveyard
Saw a young man kneeling there
In his hand there were some roses
On his lips there was a prayer
On a stone these words were written
My soul is gone my memory done
As I watched I thought in sorrow
Friend thy burdens are greater than mine
Just a drifter on the road
Got no friends I got no home
Yes thy burdens are greater than mine
