Weight of This World

from Here & Gone Again by The Resonant Rogues

/

lyrics

Oh get this weight of the world
off my shoulders
I know the fate of this world
don’t rest on me
but that don’t help
cause it’s a lie, you see
I know the shape of this world
is formed by every hand
that touches it
I know the hate in this world
ain’t doing nothin but
bringing us on down…

Law of nature, law of numbers,
whatcha doin today.
Law of nature, law of numbers,
we don’t have any say
Law of nature, law of numbers,
none of this is to stay
Law of nature, law of numbers,
I know why…. people pray

Oh let the might of this world
into my body
can’t shake the fright
that this world
is doomed to fail
oh that’s the truth,
I can’t just let it be
I was born to fight for this world
and all its pleasures
We should have the right
in this world
to feelin safe and living free…
