Stretched so thin
Is dangerous for worn-out skin
Our best bet is to be the hymn
That sings our love and starts again
The weight of the world
Shoulders aren't ready
Feet aren't steady
The heart feels empty
The weight of this new world
Shoulders aren't ready
Feet aren't steady
The heart gives in
Sink or swim
Make your choice will you begin or end
Just when you thought you have made amends
They cut a wound that never mends.
The weight of the world
Shoulders aren't ready
Feet aren't steady
The heart feels empty
The weight of this new world
Shoulders aren't ready
Feet aren't steady
The heart gives in
