Carry the Weight

Take the heat, stand the pressure
Bearing a load beyond measure
Hold fast and fight with fire
Always walking the wire
Wake up, that's not the answer
It eats at your life like a cancer
You want it all, can't fight the feeling
You'll never win 'cause the devil's dealing

Don't let it control you
It's dragging you down
Can't let them control you

Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
Carry the weight of the world all alone
Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
Don't carry that weight, it'll turn your heart to stone

On the news, another bombing
The feds can't stop global warming
Give now or children will die
More planes fall from the sky
Look out, floods and earthquakes
Big corporations get tax breaks
The euro's down and now there's Brexit
The world is broke and you can't fix it

Don't let it control you
It's dragging you down
Can't let them control you

Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
Carry the weight of the world all alone
Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
Don't carry that weight, it'll turn your heart to stone

There will be trials in your life
Things you cannot control
There will be heartache and strife
Don't let it tear out your soul

Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
Carry the weight of the world all alone
Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
Don't carry that weight, it'll turn your heart to stone
