The weight of the world lays on my shoulders I carry it as long as I exist The strain of life is pushing me forward And I will never let it go The weight of the world lays on my shoulders I carry it as long as I exist The strain of life is pushing me forward And I will never let it go Wind blows through sails on heavy seas Holding with both hands tight the helm Even surrendering won't ease the pain Looking ahead and never go back again There is a fire burning deep inside It's my redemption and I decide Count my blessings - touch my face I close my eyes in these times of grace In time the sun's gonna shine on me My longest way home The hardest path of destiny Destiny! The weight of the world lays on my shoulders I carry it as long as I exist The weight of the world lays on my shoulders I carry it as long as I exist The strain of life is pushing me forward And I will never let it go The weight of the world lays on my shoulders The strain of life is pushing me forward And I will never let it go I'm searching for freedom - all I found were chains I'm looking for love - but all I found was hate To find it cost me everything I had And to get it takes everything I am This moment is all that matters Weigh the anchor in the eye of the storm HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
