Lyrics
I may not have all the answers
Lay your burden down
I may only have half of the story
Lay your burden down
I am a friend you can rely on
Someone you can trust
You can tell me all of your secrets
And know they'll not be divulged
I want to help you bring back the sunshine
Lay your burden down
To make you believe in a second coming
Lay your burden down
Nothing that you say will shock me
I don't judge right or wrong
I am someone who will listen
And give you space to heal
There's no need to hide your emotions
Lay your burden down
You have to give vent to your feelings
Lay your burden down
There's no shame in being tearful
There's no shame in that
There's no reason to be fearful
I'll not turn my back
I may not have all the answers
Lay your burden down
I may only have half of the story
Lay your burden down
Lay your burden
Lay your burden
Lay your burden down
