We carry the weight, the weight of the world
It's breaking you down on your back like a boulder
Before it's too late! Get rid of it, girl
Get it off of your shoulder
The weight of the world it's breaking you down
On your back like a boulder
Before it's too late! Get rid of it, girl
Get it off of your shoulder
Maybe your daddy never held you like he should
Maybe your mama just held on the best she could
Every soul has a secret give it away or keep it
Yesterday's gone so tell me why
You carry the weight, the weight of the world
It's breaking 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 your
Maybe I've tried but then I got my own life too
Every heart has a hunger
I'm not getting any younger
I got all the crosses I can bear
I carry the weight, the weight of the world
It's breaking me down on my back like a boulder
Before it's too late! Get rid of me, girl
Get it off of my shoulder
You know I've been used
And I gotta lose the weight of the world
When all comes down to who you crucify?
Do you either miss the future or the past goodbye?
We can fly so high!
But we carry the weight, the weight of the world
It's breaking us down on our backs like a boulder
Before it's too late! Get rid of it, girl
Get it off of my shoulder
We've all been used
Though we gotta lose
The weight of the world
It's taking us down and the night's growing colder
Just blame it on the things that was yesterday, girl
And we just flowing older
We've all been abused
Now it's time to lose
The weight of the world
The weight of the world
The weight of the world
The weight of the world
