I have not come, to testify
About our bad bad misfortune
And I ain t here a wonderin why
But I ll live on, and I ll be strong
Cause it just ain t my cross to bear.
Sat down and wrote you a long letter, just the other day
Said as sure as the sun rises
Tomorrow I ll be up and on my way
But I ll live on, and I ll be strong
Cause it just ain t my cross to bear.
(lead)
But I ll live on, and I ll be strong
Cause it just ain t my cross to bear.
But in the end baby,
Don t reach out for me
I m not gonna carry on
But I ll live on, and I ll be strong
Cause it just ain t my cross to bear.
