You've got the weight of the world On your shoulders tonight But somewhere there's a light It's just the way that you feel In the eyes of the world So much colder tonight It's feeding on your pride It's just the way that you feel Don't go Can't you see I'm on your side Baby don't go Don't go, don't go, don't go If the weight of the world Is too much for you now You've got to turn it round somehow Change the way that you feel If you wait for the world To give you what you need It's gonna bring you to your knees again So baby don't go Can't you see I'm on your side Don't let yourself go Don't go, don't go, don't go There has to be another way No don't go You've got to turn around and stay Don't you wait until your strength is gone I'll give you something worth holding on to Not the weight The weight of the world Don't believe in your foolish pride Take a look at how you feel inside And give it up You're saying how your friends are gone Baby are they holding on To the weight On the weight of the world
