Lyrics

- The Weight Of the World -

On our shoulders, we placed it all
Straw by straw we carried on
Didn't stop once enough to breathe it in
The rosy sweetness in the wind
 
Now our knees are buckling 'neath the strain
All those years we couldn't outrun the pain
No more porters left to share the load
As summer ends reap what we've sown
 
"It's not a joke to me," she said
Then closed the door as I turned my back
I wasn't strong enough
I couldn't lift
The Weight of The World
 
Shelter, shelter, no shade anywhere
There's no relief from all this heat
Always clouds, but not a drop of rain
Another night of moon on the wane
 
"It's not a joke to me," she said 
Then closed the door as I turned my back 
I wasn't strong enough 
I couldn't lift 
The Weight of The World
