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
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
