Weight of the World

Beth Hart

Daddy is blowing leaves around the lawn
He is laughing and joking and humming funny songs
He is saying you gotta stand for something child
And his heart is wide open when he looks me in the eyes
Then he says:

When the weight of the world is on your shoulder
The rope is gettin' thin
Run for the hills, lay down in the water
But I just wanna come home
Home home home
Where we started from
Home home home
Before the weight of the world
Turns my heart to stone

Momma is holding tomatos in the yard
And her hair is all golden
And her soul is a superstar
Shes dancing to Billys?
You gotta find your way
She keeps saying : dont worry
Ill love you anyway
Then she says:

If you ever feel like you dont matter
Or your best aint good enough
Run for the hills, lay down in the water
But I just wanna come home
Home home home
Where we 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
My love is long and deeper then 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
Abandonned and stoned
I will be there
I am your daughter
Im coming home
Home home home
Im coming home
home home home
Yeah, Im coming home

Before the weight of the world
For the weight of the world
Yeah I am coming home
Before the weight of the world
For the weight of the world
Yeah Im coming home
Yeah Im coming home
Im coming home
Ooooh oooh Im coming home
Yeah Im coming home
