WEIGHT OF MY WORLD

I lie in bed and I pray myself to sleep
As I listen to the thunder of the traffic as it passes by
The sounds echo in the dark of night
These stranger’s plights, they make me realize the years gone by

In this darkness, I can hear my heart beat stronger
I think of war, I think peace, I think of love that’s true
Confessing everything that I have done
I’m lost within the memory of all that I have failed to do

Reaching out for something to believe
I face a part of me that I deceived
I face a part of me I did not grieve
You see, there’s something here baby that I failed to see
It’s just the weight of my world coming down on me

I found my soul way back when I was younger
It held the promise that my loneliness would end
But, somehow lessons taught were never learned
And everywhere I turned was just another place to descend

Time and time again I played the fool
Seemed like the only thing that I could do
Seemed like the perfect place for me to be
You see, there’s something here baby that I failed to see
It’s just the weight of my world coming down on me

I lie in bed and I pray for another morning
As I stare into the silence of these shadows that surround my life
Even though I have nothing to fear
Lying here I think of all the wrongs that I have failed to make right
Failed to make right…

Reaching out for something true to hold
I face a heart that’s been too long, too cold
I face a heart too long in misery
You see, there’s something here baby that I failed to see
It’s just the weight of my world coming down on me
It’s just the weight of my world coming down on me…
