Written in 2008-09, Drop Your Burden is a love song to EVERYONE with references to some gospel/traditional lyrics and an upbeat, folk/Americana feel.

lyrics

TO ALL THOSE WHOSE HEARTS HURT - TO THOSE WHO FEEL SO OLD - I KNOW THAT IN THE NIGHT TIME - IT FEELS A LITTLE COLD - DROP YOUR BURDENS - LET GO OF YOUR SORROW - DROP YOUR BURDENS - LET GO OF YOUR SORROW

TAKE IT TO THE RIVER - BURY IT IN THE SAND - RELEASE IT FROM YOUR MIND NOW CHILD - RELEASE IT FROM YOUR HANDS - DROP YOUR BURDENS - LET GO OF YOUR SORROW (repeat)

IT’S ALL GONNA WORK OUT IN THE END YOU KNOW - SOMETIMES IT TAKES A LITTLE PAIN TO GROW (x2) into solo

I’M SINGING TO MY SISTERS - SINGING TO MYSELF - I’M SINGING TO STRANGERS NOW - TO THOSE WHO NEED HELP - DROP YOUR BURDENS - LET GO OF YOUR SORROW - repeat 3 more times and then break

IT’S ALL GONNA WORK OUT IN THE END YOU KNOW - SOMETIMES IT TAKES A LITTLE PAIN TO GROW
