From the recording A Love Letter to You, My Christian Friend(glam rock version)
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see the weight you carry, the past held in your hands,
Taught to walk the narrow road and guard the promised land.
You've been told you're losing, that the world has turned away,
But what if letting go could bring a brighter day?
[Pre-Chorus]
You were never the enemy, never a war to fight,
Just another traveler lost in borrowed light.
The past was built for someone else, but chains don’t set you free—
What if breaking them means freedom, not just for them, but thee?
[Chorus]
Lay your burden down, take my hand and see—
The world is wide enough for you, and still enough for me.
You don’t have to stand alone, no throne to defend,
True power’s in the love we build, not the walls we mend.
[Verse 2]
They told you strength was silence, that doubt could be a sin,
That questioning the given path would let the darkness in.
But justice isn’t theft, my friend, nor is truth your foe,
What if losing what you never owned is the only way to grow?
[Verse 3]
You were never the enemy, never a war to fight,
Just another traveler searching for the light.
The past was built on stories that were never meant to last—
What if writing new ones lets us rise beyond the past?
[Bridge]
A kingdom built on fear will fall to dust in time,
But a future built on kindness—that’s the one that shines.
No one's here to steal from you, no one's taking grace,
Only asking, side by side, to share this sacred place.
[Final Chorus]
Lay your burden down, take my hand and see—
The world is wide enough for you, and still enough for me.
No need to fear the rising tide—let's build a bridge instead,
For justice is not fire, my friend—it’s the meal where we all break bread.
[Outro]
You are not forgotten, no one's casting you aside,
The door is open wider now, for all to stand inside.
Step into the morning, where the dawn is breaking new,
The world is not against you—it's just waiting here for you.
For isn't it true for you as it is for myself,
That your belief is "Love your neighbor as yourself"?
