| Song | The Burden of Freedom |
| Artist | Kris Kristofferson |
| Album | This Old Road |
| 作词 : Kristofferson | |
| I stand on the stairway, my back to the dungeon | |
| The doorway to freedom so close to my hand | |
| Voices behind me still bitterly damn me | |
| For seeking salvation they don't understand | |
| Lord, help me to shoulder the burden of freedom | |
| And give me the courage to be what I can | |
| And when I am wounded by those who condemn me | |
| Lord, help me forgive them, they don't understand | |
| Their lonely frustration, descending to laughter | |
| Erases the footprints I leave in the sand | |
| And I'm free to travel where no one can follow | |
| In search of the kingdom they don't understand | |
| Lord, help me to shoulder the burden of freedom | |
| And give me the courage to be what I can | |
| And when I have wounded the last one who loved me | |
| God, help her forgive me, I don't understand |
