Lyrics The World And It's Way - Joanne Shaw Taylor

The World And It's Way

I CAN’T HOLD THE WEIGHT OF YOUR WORLD
FOR FOREVER AND A DAY
YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE PLAY
TURN AROUND AND SAY
THAT IT’S ALL OK
I CAN’T HEED THE LIFE YOU LEAD
OR WHERE YOU SET YOUR SIGHTS
YOU’VE LONG RAISED THAT BAR
AND IF WE GET HALF THAT FAR
THEN WERE DOING ALRIGHT
WE’RE DOING ALRIGHT
JUST AS NIGHT TURNS ROUND TO DAY
WE’LL SEE IT THROUGH
AND BE HERE TO SAY
THAT’S JUST THE WORLD AND IT’S WAY
YOU POUR IN MY HANDS
JUST LIKE WATER TO SAND
DRAGGED DOWN WITH THE TIDE
YOU’RE MY MAN AND IT’S TIME TO
UNDERSTAND
I’LL BE AROUND FOR THE RIDE
JUST AS NIGHT TURNS ROUND TO DAY
WE’LL SEE IT THROUGH
AND BE HERE TO SAY
THAT’S JUST THE WORLD AND IT’S WAY
THERE’LL ALWAYS BE A LESSON
IN THE TRIALS TO LEARN
THERE’LL ALWAYS BE A BLESSING
AMONGST THE HARDTIMES TO DISCERN
