Album: Burden
(Johnson)
When hatred is near
Bloodshed and fear begin to bring up the rear
When color of skin divides and upends
Nobody wins, nobody wins
No more sickness, no more sorrow
When I lay my burden down
When I hear those lies
Money and ties can’t buy a disguise
When I hear that news, it gives me the blues
Ain’t got no excuse, you ain’t got no excuse
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
When I lay my burden down
In the words of Dr. King, gotta sweep our streets clean
See just what love will bring, love will bring
All my troubles, still gotta dream
When I lay my burden down
