You say that I've strayed from the road I walked as a child
|
You say that my youth and my heart haven't chosen what's right
|
Don't tell me I'm aimless
|
Cause I ain't gonna fight
|
|
You bury your faith in the book you clutch in the dark
|
You keep praying I'll hear every word and it tears you apart
|
Don't tell me I'm faithless
|
Cause I ain't gonna fight
|
We both know a place
|
Where we know who we are
|
|
Don't rest your weight on me now
|
You're not gonna change me by putting me down
|
My faith lies deep in the ground
|
|
If Jesus exists he don't live in the pages we write
|
He'd say put down your books and come follow me out in the light
|
Don't me I'm crazy
|
Cause I ain't gonna fight
|
We both want to hold on
|
To what peace we can find
|
|
Don't rest your weight on me now
|
You're not gonna change me by putting me down
|
My faith lies deep in the ground
|
My faith lies deep in the ground
|

Don't Rest Your Weight On Me Now
