David Leonard's song 'Share This Burden' is a heartfelt cry for help from someone overwhelmed by life's weight. The lyrics express exhaustion from pretending to be strong and the realization that we are not meant to carry heavy burdens alone. The song emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and community, calling on brothers and sisters to share each other's burdens. It reflects a biblical principle found in Galatians 6:2 about bearing one another's burdens. The message is one of surrender, honesty, and finding strength through connection with others.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Sometimes I'm too tired to pray

'Cause it feels like nothing ever changes

But I never really say it

It's so hard to say it

The more I try to pretend

The more the weight caves in

And I can't stop it

No, I can't stop


My soul from crying out

My soul keeps crying out

Oh Lord, and I'm screaming inside


Somebody take the load off of my shoulders

It's too heavy, I can't hold it no more, no more

I wasn't meant to carry this mountain

Or bury it down in my soul

I was meant to share this burden


I gotta fall down to rise

If I wanna live, I gotta die

I gotta know the darkness to show the light


And my soul keeps crying out

My soul keeps crying out

Oh no, and I'm screaming inside


Somebody take a load off my shoulders

It's too heavy, I can't hold it no more, no more

I wasn't meant to carry this mountain

Or bury it down in my soul

Yeah, I was meant to share this burden


Brothers, sisters

We gotta share this burden, we gotta share this burden

Brothers, sisters

We gotta share this burden, we gotta share this burden

So brothers, sisters

We gotta share this burden, we gotta share this burden


Somebody take the load off of my shoulders

It's too heavy, I can't hold it no more, no more

I wasn't meant to carry this mountain

Or bury it down in my soul

Yeah, I was meant to share this burden

Oh, oh

Yeah, I was meant to share this burden
