Weight Of The World Songtext / Lyric

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"

His heart is wide open when he looks me in the eyes



He says: " When the weight of the world

is on your shoulders, the rope is getting thin

- run for the hills, lay down in the water"

but I just wanna come home.



Home, home, home.

Where I started from.

Home, home, home

Before the weight of the world

Turns my heart to stone



Mama is holding tomatoes in the yard

And her hair is all golden, her soul's a superstar

She's dancing to Billie's, "You gotta find your way"

She keeps saying don't worry, I'll love you anyway.






And she says: "If you ever feel

like you don't matter, your best ain't good enough.

Run for the hills, lay down in the water

But I just wanna come home



Home, home, home.

Where I started from.

Home, home, home

Before the weight of the world

Turns my heart to stone



I was so lucky, as anyone could ever be.

And my love is long, and deeper than the sea.

No I never said it, and I hope you will forgive.

'Cause I thank you both for showing 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 - 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

Turns my heart to stone
