Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you believe in your self
If you believe in some one
Who'd walk through life with you
You'll never be alone
Just learn to be reach out and open your heart
Lift up your hands to God
And He'll shall lead the way
And He said,
Cast your burdens upon me
Those who are heavily laiden
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 your rest
