Weight of the World

Weight of the World
by Tanya Gordon

Let’s go over this one more time

And see if I can’t toe the line

But it’s stealing the soul out of me

And I’m trying to find my spine

I want you to be happy

But my spirit’s grieved

I could give you my all

But there’d be nothing left of me

So take it away now

You’re making me crazy

And I’m not gonna be this small

All your delusion

It feeds my confusion

But you don’t seem to care at all

Give me my freedom

And keep your derision

Cause I am tired

And I feel like the weight of the world is falling on me

We could talk like the beautiful people

Civilized beyond their dreams

Serving up the free love in the free world

On their way into therapy

I want you to be happy

But my spirit’s grieved

I could give you my all

But there’d be nothing left of me

So take it away now

You’re making me crazy

And I’m not gonna be this small

All your delusion

It feeds my confusion

But you don’t seem to care at all

Give me my freedom

And keep your derision

Cause I am tired

And I feel like the weight of the world is falling on me

I’ll answer to the heavenlies

And give you what I can of me

But in the end my heart will speak this mystery

I cannot be silent

When my heart is heaving

I cannot be silent

When my soul is screaming

So take it away now

You’re making me crazy

And I’m not gonna be this small

All your delusion

It feeds my confusion

But you don’t seem to care at all

Give me my freedom

And keep your derision

Cause I am tired

And I feel like the weight of the world is falling on me
