Travelin' down a lonely highwayI knew not where the road would endNot a penny in my pocketAll a lone without a friendIn a little country villageI met a man and he was blindAs I helped him cross the high-wayOh! lord I cried thy burdens are greater than mine.I can see the light of dayI need not feel my wayYes, thy burdens are greater than mine.Met a lad while on my travelsTryin' hard to play the gameThough his leg was very crippledAnd he could not speak his nameYet, he smiled in understandin'Though life to him had been unkindAnd as I watched, I cried in sorrowOh! lord his burdens are greater than mine.I can speak my name aloudMake my way among the crowdYes, his burdens are greater than mine.SongtexteJust by chance I passed a graveyardI saw a young man kneelin' thereIn his hand, there were some rosesOn his lips, there was a prayerOn a stone, these words were written"Your soul is god's, your mem'ry mine"And as I watched, I cried in sorrowOh! lord I see his burdens are greater than mine.
