lyrics

"Oh, daddy!"
The sound of your voice stops me cold as I hear you say,
"Why are you angry with me?"
Those perfect brown eyes leave me no room to hide away.

Oh Please Forgive me my son, my love
I've not been my usual self
Someday you'll know, and you'll try not to let it show

When the weight of the world's comin' heavy
And the weight of the world takes you to your end
The weight of the world, won't get the rest of me
I'll never drop a knee
I promise you I'll never bend
To the weight of the world.

There's too much at stake
Too many mouths too feed, too many hearts that need
ain't got time to bleed
I Don't know what i can take
never had no quit in me, hard to stand, hard to see,
From the gloves have been pounding me

God make me more than I am on my own
God set my mind and my will like a stone
God lift where I lack and brace my back

For the weight of the world's comin' heavy
And the weight of the world takes me to my end
The weight of the world, won't get the rest of me
I'll never drop a knee
I promise you I'll never bend to the weight of the world.

This is my gift to you,
This is my sacrifice,
And if I had it again to do
I would give it and never think, never think twice
How could I see your love
Written all over your face
Then run run away, when I should embrace

The weight of the world when it's heavy
The weight of the world when it takes me to my end
The weight of the world, won't get the rest of me
I'll never drop a knee
I promise you I'll never bend to the weight of the world.
The weight of the world
The weight of the world
