Billy Joel Cross To Bear Lyrics

Cross To Bear Lyrics

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

We all walk in darkness sometimes

Oh, everybody gets his share, mmm,

''cause we all have our cross to bear
