Lyrics Weight Of The World - Beth Hart

Weight Of The World

Daddy is blowing leaves around the lawn
He’s laughing and joking humming funny songs
He’s saying you gotta stand for something child
His heart is wide open when he looks me in the eyes
He says when the weight of the world is on your shoulders
The rope is getting thin run for the hills lay down in the water
But I just wanna come home, home, home
Where I started from home, home, home
Before the weight of the world
Turns my heart to stone
Mama is holding tomatoes in the yard
Her hair is all golden and her soul’s a superstar
She’s dancing to billies you gotta find your way
She keeps saying don’t worry I’ll love you anyway
Then she says if you ever feel that you don’t matter
Or your best ain’t good enough, run for the hills lay down in the water
But I just wanna come home, home, home
Where I 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 than 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
Abandoned and stoned I will be there I am your daughter
I’m coming home, home, home
I’m coming home, home, home
Yeah I’m coming home
Before the weight of the world, before the weight of the world
Yeah I’m coming home
Before the weight of the world, before the weight of the world
Yeah I’m coming home
Before the weight of the world, before the weight of the world
I’m coming home
Yeah, I’m coming home
