Grammar
my heart burdened "BE"
0 Hello, 02 br
02 br
00 Can anyone help me understand the sentence -" 01 b 00 my hear burdened be 02 b 00 " from "Your Raise Me Up" sung by Gosh Groban?" 02 br
02 br
00 I'm just wondering what would be the grammatical/semantic function(s) of " 01 b 00 BE 02 b 00 " at the end of the sentence. 02 br
02 br
00 Also I just want to know why definite article " 01 b 00 THE 02 b 00 " is used before "SILENCE". 02 br
02 br
00 "When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; 02 br
02 br
00 When troubles come and 01 b 00 my heart burdened be 02 b 00 ; 02 br
02 br
00 Then, I am still and wait here in 01 b 00 the silence 02 b 00 , 02 br
02 br
00 Until you come and sit awhile with me" 02 br
02 br
00 Thank you so much for your answer in advance!! 02 br

00 It could also mean, and then there's some grammar behind it: 01 b 02 br
02 b 02 br
01 i 00 When/If troubles 01 b 00 come 02 b 00 and my heart 01 b 00 be 02 b 00 burdened 02 i 02 br
00 in which both 01 b 00 come 02

I know this is an old topic, but thought I throw in my two cents for future readers.
I would say there is definitely a difference between "I wait here in silence" and "I wait here in the silence", for me the first phrase means: "I am silent" and the second one: "there is silence around me"
The definite/indefinite context Marius is alluding to might be a bit more complicated
