[Verse 1]
We did everything we could
To slow this world down
Now my love
Is in the ground
Shoulder-to-shoulder
Eye-to-eye
I wish this were farewell
But I'm afraid it's goodbye

[Chorus]
It weighs heavy on my mind
Oh, so heavy on my mind
It weighs heavy on my mind
Oh, so heavy on my mind

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wish
Sometimes I fall in the well
A lock in a safe
In a cage in a cell
We can wait out the storm
Or we can stand in the rain
Gonna have to mourn
Or hide from some pain
[Chorus]
It weighs heavy on my mind
Oh, so heavy on my mind
It weighs heavy on my mind
Heavy on my mind

[Bridge]
And if one night
The whole world saw the light
The unknown made itself clear
A familiar sound
Heard from all around
Telling us there's nothing to fear

[Chorus]
It weighs heavy on my mind
Heavy, heavy on my mind
So heavy on my mind
