I FEEL THE BURDEN (BEING LIFTED OFF MY SHOULDERS)
(Glen Clark)


Delbert & Glen - 1972
Rita Coolidge - 1977



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've 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 desire
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

(Instrumental Break)

First I only had a glimpse of the light
I was blinded by worldly desire
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 a whole lot 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

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 ....... FADE
