we've only gone so far,
and so much more far to go

Brother just lay your burdens low

Stay out of your head,
keep busy and row

Brother just lay your burdens low

keep your head high
higher than before

Brother please lay your burdens low

Though it not much now
in the stars it's shown

In starlight lay your burdens low

Too heavy at times
but I'm there, just know

I'll carry your burdened self back home
