Carry the Weight

Take the heat, stand the pressure, bearing a load beyond measure Hold fast, and fight with fire, always walking the wire Wake up, that’s not the answer, it eats at your life like a cancer You want it all, can’t fight the feeling You’ll never win ‘cause the devil’s dealing Don’t let it control you It’s dragging you down Can’t let them control you... Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders Carry the weight of the world all alone Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders Don’t carry that weight, it will turn your heart to stone On the news, another bombing, the feds can’t stop global warming Give now! Or children will die, more planes fall from the sky Look out, floods and earthquakes, big corporations get tax breaks The Euro’s down, and now there’s Brexit The world is broke, and you can’t fix it Don’t let it control you It’s dragging you down Can’t let them control you... Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders Carry the weight of the world all alone Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders Don’t carry that weight, it will turn your heart to stone There will be trails in your life, things you cannot control There will be heartache and strife, don’t let it tear out your soul Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders Carry the weight of the world all alone Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders Don’t carry that weight, it will turn your heart to stone
