lyrics

Weight of the World August 2010

When I look back at the years we’ve travelled over
All the things that seemed important at the time
The burdens that we placed upon our shoulders
The troubles that we faced along the line

It’s the weight of the world
Pressing down on me
It’s only through your love
That I can make it through the day
It’s the weight of the world
Sometimes it’s more than I can take
But when I hold you in my arms
All the madness fades away

I guess living wasn’t meant to be too easy
Stress and strife just seems to get in the way
And though they try to make our lives more simple
They can’t make any more hours in a day

It’s the weight of the world ….

We run from place to place
At such a hectic pace
I don’t always take the time to say
How much you mean to me

We’ll follow every road to where it leads
We’ll slay the dragons and set the princess free
We won’t spend time worrying about what might have been
We can’t change the past but we can always start again

It’s the weight of the world ……
