(It's time to take the time) You're fighting the weight of the world Close your eyes You can find all you need in your mind You can feel the waves coming on Let them destroy you or carry you on But no one can save you this time Find all you need in your

Are you happy now? Somewhere in the crowd In a foreign place There's nothing left to say So I shut my mouth So won't you tell me, babe You're a world away You're the only one who can The wash in the weight of your pockets, so deep

The candles burned The moon went down The polished hill The milky town Transparent, weightless, luminous Uncovering the two of us On that fundamental ground Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound And half the perfect world is found

I know you miss me Oh, when you kiss me And when you're with me The world just goes away The way you hold me I can see you with me when I'm older All my lonely nights are finally over You took the weight of the world off my shoulders

Pretty little thing Sometimes you gotta look good And let the world see All the beauty that you're made of Nobody can tell Your my Virginia bluebell My Virginia bluebell 'Cause the way you hang you head Carrying the weight on the end of a limb

(Take me higher) Freed of the world Shed of the weight Onward to see you my friend Light years above Time seems to wait Promise to see you again It haunts to remember All the memories of that day

Misery you insist that the weight of the world Should be on your shoulders Misery there's much more to life than what you see My friend of misery You just stood there screaming Fearing no one was listening to you They say the empty can rattles the most

Are you happy now? Somewhere in the crowd In a foreign place There's nothing left to say So I shut my mouth So won't you tell me, babe You're a world away You're the only one who can The wash in the weight of your pockets, so deep

When I'll hold you again With my arms spread out With everything I know And the way things could go 'bout the weight of the world So live up my friend Step back again For somethings will be given For some you'll have to bend

When your long day is over And you can barely drag your feet The weight of the world Is on your shoulders I know what you need Bring it on home to me You've got someone here Wants to make it all right
