Weight of the World
You wanna take it off
It’s the weight of the world
You want to set it free
Just for today

Can’t always be the one
To heal everything
And the weight of the world
Was never yours to keep

You can spend so many days
Trying to make the darkness go away
But it’s the weight of the world
It’s the curse of the worldly ways

Can’t keep it inside
So go on just let it out
It’s the weight of the world
If you ever had a doubt

You wanna take it off
‘Cause it makes your body hurt
It’s the weight of the world
It was never really yours

Can’t keep it inside
Oh, you know you gotta set it free
‘Cause the weight of the world
Was never yours to keep
