Weight of the World
To the hero to be this is my advice.
Get ready because the world's alive.
When the world's alive surely you might die,
but you stand anyway as a truth amongst the lies.
But here we come now as the time goes by
ebbing and flowing like an ocean by night
We're here to bring you storms you thought you'd never find.
We're here to challenge how you live or die!
Cause the weight of the world is on my shoulders again!
How can I handle this? I am only just a man.
Beating me down everyday like a hammer to the ground
Always strong until nobody is around.
When I give up is when I pray so very loud
hoping that you'll hear me over every other sound
over every other sound...
Cause the weight of the world's on my shoulders again!
How can I handle this? I am only just a man.
I'm beating the ground
feeling the sound
of everything crashing around me.
But I'm not giving in
because even in my sin
you breathe life into me again!
Now I'm not afraid
of facing the day
when I find the way
to hear the words you say.
Never a crown for my head
because I'm being lead
to you who paid for my death!
What's he gonna do
when it is through you
that I wake up and prove
that the one thing I can do
is THE IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
Cause the weight of the world's on my shoulders again!
I know how to handle this, and I am only just a man!
Nobody's gonna stop me! No amount of pain!
The impossible will have to see what I can do again!
It is good see your
It is good see your christian beliefs interwoven into the poetry. Your belief in God even though you are weighed down by responsibilities and how you refind yourself and you believe through it all, wonderful.
