well
i know you got your troubles
but i've got problems of my own
it's all relative you see
what happiness should be
and we got to work it out alone
i know about your situation
and i know all about your pain
but you know it's true though it's no comfort to you
into each life must fall some rain
we all have our cross to bear
we all walk in darkness sometimes
though i know it don't seem fair
we all have our cross to bear
you know i hate to see you cry
i hate to see you cry now
because i had my share of tears
and though it may sound cool
you know i'd be a fool
to let it slide a few more years
listen
i just got to have my freedom
and if that's giving you the blues
that's the price you pay
lord
there ain't no other way
but to get down on your knees and pay your dues
'cause don't you know
we all have our cross to bear
we all knuckle under sometimes
oh
everybody gets his share
we all have our cross to bear
oh
i just got to have my freedom
and if that's giving you the blues
well
that's the price you pay
lord
there ain't no other way
but to get down on your knees and pay your dues
'cause don't you know
we all have our cross to bear
oh
we all walk in darkness sometimes
oh
everybody gets his share
mmm
'cause we all have our cross to bear
