Rita Coolidge - I Feel The Burden

Copied!

I feel the burden being lifted off my shoulders
I was down, oh, I was down
Till I got to think of the love I had found
Just one step closer
I hear my freedom calling
And with you by my side, babe
I got a lot less chance of falling

First, I only had a glimpse of the light
I was blinded by worldly desires
Now it's hard to choose wrong over right
It's hard to have hope in your darkest hour

I can feel it being lifted, being lifted off my shoulders
I can feel it being lifted, being lifted off of me

First, I only had a glimpse of the light
I was blinded by worldly desires
It's not hard to choose wrong over right
It's hard to have hope in your darkest hour

As we say way down in Georgia
You make my load a whole lot lighter
As we say way down in Georgia
You make my day whole lots brighter

Just one step closer
I hear my freedom calling
And with you by my side, babe
I got a lot less chance of falling

I feel the burden being lifted off my shoulders
I feel the burden being lifted off of me
I feel the burden being lifted off my shoulders
I feel the burden being lifted off of me
