Life is not all that bad, my friend, hmmm If you believe in yourself If you believe there's someone Who walks through life without you You'll never be alone Just learn to reach out And open your heart Lift up hands to God And he'll show you the way And he said, 'Cast your burdens upon me Those who are heavily laden Come to me, all of you who are tired Of carrying heavy loads For the yoke I will give you is easy And my burden is light Come to me and I will give you rest' When you feel the world Is tumblin' down on you And you have no one That you can hold on to Just face the rising sun And you'll see hope And there's no need to run Lift up your hands to God And he'll make you feel all right And he said, 'Cast your burdens upon me Those who are heavily laden Come to me, all of you who are tired Of carrying heavy loads For the yoke I will give you is easy And my burden is light Come to me and I will give you rest'
