“Come to me my brother and I will sit with you a while.  Pretty soon I’ll see you smile – and you know you will.  No matter how much you’re hurt’n right now, you know that everything will change in time.  Let me cary your burden o brother mine.”

This is the chorus to Foy Vance’s “Burden”.  THIS is peer support represented in beautiful song.  Every word perfectly representing the power of the peer – the importance of a trusted friend to stand with and walk beside.

Take a listen and hear the artist’s willingness (eagerness even) to love and support his “brother”.  Hear the artist’s confidence that “everything will change in time” and life will get better again.  But, until that time, let me carry your burden.  THIS is the power of the peer.  THIS is the sound of caring for someone in pain.

Thank you Foy Vance.  Amazing song!!
