And as I walk down to the water

To lay my burden down

And for one moment in this life

I will be free.

And I will rest there at the river.

For soon I must go on

But for that moment in my life

I will be me.

And I will let, let down my burden, let down my burden.

All my pain, all my pain is out of hand.

I can't no longer wait.

I can't no longer wait.

I can't no longer wait.

And I will lay my burden down to be freedom's child again.

I can no longer face, I can no longer face the color of my world.

From the darkness of the water.

To my place in the sun.

It's but the last place on my journey

to be free in the morning

song will find me a peaceful

Girl, at last More in one moment

Of my life, I will be free.

I will lay my body down for my faith.

I can no longer take, I can no longer take the color of my way.

I said I'm gonna lay down, lay my heavy body down to keep freedom's child.

I can't no longer take, I can't no longer take the color of my world.

Lay it down, lay my heavy body down, to be free of shame.

I can't take it no more, baby.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

cause i can't take it no more i can no longer take
