Departures cover
09. The Weight of the World
Album: Departures
Artist: Jon Foreman
         
 

Carry the weight of the world
In all of the faces you’ve found
Carry the weight of the world
With deadlines on the ground
Balance the world on your head
It fits like a knife in your chest
Breathing is bitter and sweet

ahhh…

I’ve been waiting for
Your capable hands to come down
I’ve been praying for
Your capable hands to comedown and turn this around
Your capable hands
Could carry the weight of the world

Where are you now
Where are you now
How does it fit in your plans
Sometimes I don’t understand

I feel nothing

I’ve been waiting for
Your capable hands to come down
I’ve been praying for
Your capable hands to come down and turn this around
Your capable hands
Could carry the weight of the world

I feel nothing

I’ve been waiting for
Your capable hands to come down
I’ve been praying for
Your capable hands to come down and turn this around
Your capable hands
Could carry the weight of the world
