Beth Hart Weight Of The World song lyrics
Daddy is blowing leaves around the lawn
He's laughing and joking, and humming funny songs
He's saying "you gotta stand for something child"
His heart is wide open when he looks me in the eyes
He says: " When the weight of the world
is on your shoulders, the rope is getting thin
- run for the hills, lay down in the water"
but I just wanna come home.
Home, home, home.
Where I started from.
Home, home, home
Before the weight of the world
Turns my heart to stone
Mama is holding tomatoes in the yard
And her hair is all golden, her soul's a superstar
She's dancing to Billie's, "You gotta find your way"
She keeps saying don't worry, I'll love you anyway.
And she says: "If you ever feel
like you don't matter, your best ain't good enough.
Run for the hills, lay down in the water
But I just wanna come home
Home, home, home.
Where I started from.
Home, home, home
Before the weight of the world
Turns my heart to stone
I was so lucky, as anyone could ever be.
And my love is long, and deeper than the sea.
No I never said it, and I hope you will forgive.
'Cause I thank you both for showing me how to live.
If the weight of the world should leave you tired
abandoned and stoned. I will be there
I am your daughter - I'm coming home
Home, home, home.
I'm coming home
Home, home, home
Yeah, I'm coming home
Before the weight of the world
Turns my heart to stone
