Janet Lee Myatt: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Been pounding at the walls

Of the prison in my mind

Searching for a key

That I will surely never find

The weight of isolation

Weighs heavy on my breast

I cannot do this on my own

I’m tired and need to rest

 

 

So now I lay my burden down

I’m gonna trust in you Lord to carry on

My back is broad but I am bound

To lay my burden down

 

This road is long and dusty

I see mountains yet to climb

The dessert shows no mercy

I have no map to be my guide

It’s beautiful and terrible

And at times I’m mystified

The weight of what I don’t know

Leaves me no place left to hide

 

So now I lay my burden down

I’m gonna trust in you Lord to carry on

My back is broad but I am bound

To lay my burden down

 

Give me the strength,

Give me the voice

Give me the wisdom

Take all the noise

Show me that I’m not alone

That what is lost will soon be found

I’ve been seeking so long Lord

I gotta lay this burden down

 

I’m gonna lay my burden down

I’m gonna trust in you Lord to carry on

My back is broad but I am bound

To lay my burden down
