(Brian O'Doherty and Fred Velez)
|
Maybe your daddy never held you like you should,
|
Maybe your mama just held on the best she could.
|
Ev'ry soul has a secret,
|
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.
|
Ev'ry heart has a hunger,
|
I'm not getting any younger,
|
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 used,
|
Now it's time to lose the weight of the world,
|
The weight of the world,
|
The weight of the world.
