Weight Of The World Lyrics

Weight Of The World lyrics

Maybe your daddy never held you like he should

 Maybe your mama just held on the best she could

 Every soul has a secret

 Ya give it away or keep it

 But yesterday's gone so tell me why

 

 You carry the weight

 The weight of the world

 It's breakin' you down

 On your back like a boulder

 Before it's too late

 Get rid of it girl

 Get it off of your shoulder

 I know you've been used

 But you gotta lose the weight of the world

 

 Maybe I haven't always been there just for you

 Maybe I try but then I got my own life too

 Every heart has a hunger

 I'm not gettin' any younger

 And I got all the crosses I can bear

 

 Don't gimme the weight

 The weight of the world

 It's breakin' me down

 On my back like a boulder

 Before it's too late

 Get rid of it girl

 Get it off of my shoulder

 You know I've been used

 And I gotta lose the weight of the world

 It all comes down to who you crucify

 You either kiss the future or the past goodbye

 We could fly so high

 

 But we carry the weight

 The weight of the world

 It's breakin' us down

 On our backs like a boulder

 Before it's too late

 Get rid of it girl

 Get it off of our shoulders

 We've all been used

 And we gotta lose the weight of the world

 It's takin' us down

 And the night's growin' colder

 Just blame it on fate

 That was yesterday girl

 And we're just growin' older

 We've all been abused

 Now it's time to lose the weight of the world
