“Let Me Carry Your Burden” by Keith Urban & Foy Vance

---

It’s a fractured world, none but Christ know,

How to free a struggling flit of meteorite.

So, dear ones, let’s carry each other’s burdens,

Let’s comfort each other while we morn.

Let me aid you through adversity, your problems,

The frigid mountains where you tumble.

So, few stop to help, to free a mind of weight,

Two heads out-do one.

And a friend means you’re not isolated,

That you’re not alone — that you’re capable;

That you’re not trapped and can relieve someone else’s burden too,

So, carry your friend’s burdens without revenge or judgement;

Without hypocrisy, self-obsession, or greed.

Perceive their point of view, their guilt, their indecision;

Let their suffering mean more than yours even for minutes.

Sometimes you don’t know —

A smile, a hug, hand holding, soothing words —

Minute actions can rebuild entire worlds,

Worlds once destroyed in your loved one’s eye.

So, if I carry your burden, will you carry mine?

Together we won’t fall apart, sucked into a black-hole’s blight.

We’ll hold each other, no competition, just mutual support.

I’ll care for you because it’s right and good,

Because friends aid each other’s hurt —

Because you’d do it for me in one beat of your heart,

And without reluctance I’d sacrifice for you.

I can’t hold the weight of my burdens alone,

So while we help each other,

Lord carry us — for few or none can solve a society of frazzled minds, and cracking hearts.

Aid us as we traverse in life — that we’re never alone,

Our burdens held in Heavenly arms.

While your heavy heart’s mine to keep,

And my burden’s is your’s, no sucking undertow.

Our combined burdens God bears,

Together we manage, storms, frustrations —

A world caught in deepest darkness;

Absurd pain and hallucination.

Thus, with God we manage,

The master of all human forms.
