Weight Of The World

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Daddy is blowing leaves around the lawn He's laughing and joking and humming funny songs He's saying, "You gotta stand for something, child" And his heart is wide open as he looks me in the eyes He says [Pre-Chorus] "When the weight of the world is on your shoulders The rope's getting thin Run for the hills, lay down in the water" [Chorus] But I just wanna come home Home, home, home Where I started from, yeah Home, home, home Before the weight of thе world Turns my heart to stone [Verse 2] Mama is holding tomatoes in thе yard Her hair is all golden and her soul's a superstar She's dancing to Billy's, you gotta find your way She's saying, "Don't worry, 'cause I love you anyway" She says [Pre-Chorus] "If you ever feel like you don't matter Your best ain't good enough Run for the hills, lay down in the water" [Chorus] But I just wanna come home Home, home, home Where I started from, yeah Home, home, home Before the weight of the world Turns my heart to stone [Bridge] I was so lucky as anyone could ever be My love is long and deeper than the sea No, I never said it and hope you will forgive 'Cause I thank you both for teaching me how to live If the weight of the world should leave you tired Abandoned and stoned I will be there, I am your daughter [Chorus] And I'm coming home Home, home, home I'm coming home Home, home, home Yeah, I'm coming home Before the weight of the world Before the weight of the world Oh, I'm coming home Before the weight of the world Before the weight of the world Yeah, I'm coming home Before the weight of the world Before the weight of the world Oh, I'm coming home Before the weight of the world Before the weight of the world
