Lyrics
Weight Of The World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Daddy is blowing,
leaves around the lawn.
He's laughing and joking,
and humming funny songs.
He's saying you gotta,
stand for something child.
His heart is wide open,
when he looks me in the eyes
(and he says)
When the weight of the world
is on your shoulder,
The rope is getting thin.
Run for the hills,
lay down in the water..
[chorus]
But I just wanna come home,
home, home, home.
Where I started from,
home, home, home
Before the weight of the world
Turns my heart to stone.
Mama is holding
tomatoes in the yard.
Her hair is all golden and
her soul's a superstar.
She's dancing to Billie's,
You gotta find your way.
She keeps saying don't worry,
I'll love you anyway.
If you ever feel
like you don't matter,
your best ain't good enough.
Run for the hills,
lay down in the water..
[chorus]
I was so lucky,
as anyone could ever be.
And my love is long,
and deeper than the sea.
No I never said it,
but I hope you will forgive.
Cuz' I thank you both,
for showing me how to live.
If the weight of the world
should leave you tired,
abandoned and stoned.
I will be there,
I am your daughter.
I'm coming home..
[chorus]
