There's an albatross around your neck, All the things you've said, And the things you've done, Can you carry it with no regrets, Can you stand the person you've become, Ooh there's a light Ooh there's a light Your Albatross, let it go, let it go, Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down When you just can't shake the Heavy weight of living Stepping forward out into the day Shrugging off the dust and memory Though it's soaring still above your head It is out of sight and none shall see Ooh there's a light Ooh there's a light Your Albatross, let it go, let it go, Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down When you just can't shake the Heavy weight of living When you just can't seem to shake The weight of living It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes Your Albatross, let it go, let it go, Your Albatross shoot it down, shoot it down When you just can't shake the Heavy weight of living When you just can't seem to shake The weight of living The weight of living The weight of living The weight of living The weight of living (Ooh)
