Lyrics for Song: Too Heavy to Carry
Lyrics for Album: Memphis Portrait [Decca] [1970]
(Fred Matthews - Alan Miles - Benny Mardones)
Tar paper shanty on an old dirt road
Seeing my mother working made my blood run cold
People making fun made me wonder and doubt
Why the Lord chose our family to have to go without.
I'd shout out in anger a child stricken with fears
When my ma couldn't stand it more she'd dry away my tears
I look back a women and it's fresh in my mind
A girl leaving home trying to find
The answer to a question that I ask every day
How can mama cry so softly and still look up and say.
The Lord never makes a burden too heavy to carry
Never puts a challenge where it can't be won
Some people have to try just a little bit harder
Before their life's work is done.
My strength built of rock from what I thought was sand
Mother was rewarded cause she earned that promised land
See my reflection in the eyes of my little son
He spoke words that told me my life's work was done.
When he said Lord never makes a burden too heavy too carry
And he never puts a challenge where it can't be won
I said now some people have to try just a little bit harder
Before their life's work is done.
I said the good Lord never makes a burden too heavy to carry
He ain't gonna put a challenge where it can't be won...
