I shall bear this burden
I'll not share it with you now
I will carry all the weight
For I am standing at heaven's gate now
I am standing at heaven's gate
A song plays on in my head
It's a wonderful world for the day
I'll not complain out loud
For the sun is behind every rain cloud
And a new life springs eternal
Despite life's infernal pain
And peace rains down to all who know
To face life's final journey just so
So I shall bear this burden
I'll not share it with you
I will carry on the way
For I am standing at heaven's gate now
I'm standing at heaven's gate
