Put The Weight On My Shoulders
Put the weight on my shoulders
Take the load off of your mind
Cause the headwinds that blow
Will fade away in time
Rest yourself on my waters
Take the lifeline from me
Rise above what has passed
And let yourself be free
I only know what love must bear
Through laiden times I will be there
And when your down Ill break the fall
Loose the weight on my shoulders
It aint no weight at all
I only know what love must do
When fortune cries Ill follow you
And when your down Ill break your fall
Put the weight on my shoulders
It aint no weight at all
Put the weight on my shoulders
See you star how it shines
Cause theyre so many dreams
Left to find
Put the weight on my shoulders .....
Put the weight on my shoulders .....
Put the weight on my shoulders .....
Put the weight on my shoulders .....
Put the weight on my shoulders .....

Liquid
Smoke consumes his lungs.
Liquid fills his stomach.
He feels the weight of the world on his shoulders.
So he tries to lift it off a little by smoking and drinking.
The amount of stress keeps piling on his shoulders.
Little does he know that his baby girl is ready to lift the weight of his shoulders
and fill his body with love and compassion.

This Weight
This weight is weighing on my heart
This weight is tearing us apart
This weight is weighing on my soul
And it just wont leave me alone
You know Im talking about this weight
You know Im talking about this weight
In the neighboorhood people watching me
Got to move to protect my sanity
Anonymity is all I want you see
You may think its mediocrity, but
You know Im talking about this weight
You know Im talking ahout this weight
And this hollywood aint no good
I would rather be like robin hood
If I could only loose this...
You know Im talking about this weight
You know Im talking about this weight
And this hollywood aint no good
I would rather be like robin hood
If I could only loose this...
You know Im talking about this weight
You know Im talking about this weight
In the very first it was rock and roll
Set me free in body and soul
But this weight is just bringing me down
Its never satisfied every time I go to town
You know Im talking about this weight....

This Mountain
Well a wise man once said to me
If your heart don't break you won't be
free
I'm as free as a bird
Flying out over flying out over the sea
I call out to the wind
No one comes to let me in
I hear the thunder
The weight on my shoulders
The weight up on my shoulders crushing
me
Shine down on this mountain
Rain down on my face
Call out to the river
To wash me out
To was me out of this place
Well I wish that I was a sailorman
With the wheel of the ship held in my
hand
But I don't like the water
I'm more like the anchor
I wish I was the anchor in me
Sometimes I wish I was a sin
So the ones I love wouldn't let me in
I wouldn't have to try to find the
answers
To give 'em all the answers they need

From Here On
Michael w. smith
You must have felt alone
Reaching through your doubt
But I never meant to close you out
While I was building dreams
You were building fears
And I was the cause of all those tears
But can I start over and break new ground?
I know Ive let you down (oh babe...)
Do you feel the weight of the world
Heavy on your shoulders
Well, let my love take you down another road
And lighten up the load
From here on
Many were the times I failed to follow through
Of pieces of heaven I promised you
It wasnt paradise, it wasnt even close
And I hurt the one I love the most
And sorry could never be good enough
But I will make it up to you...
I know you feel the weight of the world
Heavy on your shoulders
Let my love take you down another road
And lighten up the load
From here on

The Weight Of The Wind
(pal waaktaar)
Your face looked new against the town
Youve come to lose some memories
Like you Ive come to touch new grounds
You want to lose
The weight of the wind
Rests hard on your shoulders
Bringing you down
The one that you love
Will never be find
You speak into the falling rain
Words youd lost, but found again
You see their snakey arms entwined
So clear and cruel
In your jealous mind
Youve got to lose
The weight of the wind
Hard on your shoulders
Getting you down
The one that you love
Will never be found

Weight Of The World
I used to carry the weight of the world
On my back
I never trusted my friends or my girl
Can you imagine that
I used to shuffle my feet
When I walked I hung my head down low
Kept to myself all my private thoughts
But when I met you girl.
I dropped the weight of the world
Weight of the world
I dropped the weight of the world
Weight of the world.
I knew some people used to dance all night
But not me
I never knew if it was wrong or right
To be so free
I used to close my eyes
And try to hide from the light of love
Spent all my time with the darkness inside
But when I met you girl.
I dropped the weight of the world
Weight of the world
I dropped the weight of the world
Weight of the world.
I was alone for all of my life
I was alone for all of my life
I was alone for all of my life
I was alone for all of my life
Until you came my way
I dropped the weight of the world
Weight of the world
I dropped the weight of the world
Weight of the world.

The Weight
Against the day I am powerless
so I rise
to face it
in the mirror.
Finding
a vaguely
familiar face
I wash it,
shave it,
prepare it
for a world that will not see it.
The children are first off the mark.
They are young
and carry
less weight.
When does it change?
When will they feel
gravity as if for the first time?
My wife is next to leave.
She carries
the weight
so gracefully
it looks
effortless.
The strength
of this Woman
keeps it all
from collapsing in on us.
The weight that is mine comes in pieces
I
can
barely
lift.
They are
in my chest,
on my back,
arms
and legs.
Without crutches
I am hopeless, cannot walk out the door.
This weight is not the same for you and me.
This weight
has a cost.
This weight
demands
its due.
This weight
exacts its toll.
This weight
commands
we each have our own price to pay.

Burden On The Shoulders
as the weight of the burden
on the shoulders increases
one develops a trend
an evolution comes
saving you from ruin
now on stronger arms
and bigger bones
the weight becomes lighter
for this is what life is all about
the more burdens there are
the stronger we become
with more rain
the thirst of the earth too deepens
in automation
the balance seeks its own scale

When You Kiss Me
This could be it, I think Im in love
Its love this time
It just seems to fit, I think Im in love
This love is mine
I can see you with me when Im older
All my lonely night are finally over
You took the weight of the world off my
Shoulders (the world just goes away)
[chorus:]
Oh, when you kiss me
I know you miss me--
And when youre with me
The world just goes away
The way you hold me
The way you show me that you
Adore me--oh, when you kiss me
Oh, yeah
You are the one, I think Im in love
Life has begun
I can see the two of us together
I know Im gonna be with you forever
Love couldnt be any better
[repeat chorus]
[instrumental solo]
I can see you with me when Im older
All my lonely nights are finally over
You took the weight of the world off my
Shoulders (the world just goes away)
[repeat chorus]
And when you kiss me
I know you miss me
Oh, the world just goes away
When you kiss me

With A Finding Of More Life To Live
If I sat back and thought,
About those battles I fought to win...
I would never have come to appreciate,
The ability to clear my mind...
To say what was on it to get it out,
With a finding of more life to live.
And to leave if for what it is,
Without carrying the weight...
Of who became offended by my honesty.
I've learned not to burden myself,
With judgements made by others...
On my shoulders.
I've learned to acknowledge,
My back and shoulders aren't meant for that.

Alabama
Oh alabama
The devil fools with the best laid plan.
Swing low alabama
You got spare change
You got to feel strange
And now the moment is all that it meant.
Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders
Thats breaking your back.
Your cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch
And a wheel on the track
Oh alabama
Banjos playing through the broken glass
Windows down in alabama.
See the old folks tied in white ropes
Hear the banjo.
Dont it take you down home?
Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders
Thats breaking your back.
Your cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch
And a wheel on the track
Oh alabama.
Can I see you and shake your hand.
Make friends down in alabama.
Im from a new land
I come to you and see all this ruin
What are you doing alabama?
You got the rest of the union to help you along
Whats going wrong?

Crack
I don't know what's growing on the inside
But I do know how it looks from the outside
Surprise...suffer
Never before...until you dropped
Arrogance has swept you off your feet
As you celebrate the many ends you meet
Surprise...suffer
Never before...until you dropped to the ground
In the mess you built for yourself
You bury your fingers
In the shards of what you once prided for
Carry your need to feed
Upon your shoulders
Crack
You can't support
The weight of your mistakes
Building walls in accolade of your wins
You missed the world that lives beneath
Your chin
Never before
Bury your fingers
In the shards of what you once prided for
Carry your need to feel
Upon your shoulders
Crack...you can't support
The weight of your own mistakes

So Glad You Said Goodbye
Stepping out of the shadows
Im blinded by the light
Therell be no more wasted days
No more sleepless nights
Stepping out of your shadow
I finally see the light
No more mister nice guy
Im ready for the fight
Weight off my shoulders
No more tears to cry
The chains are broken now
I see through your disguise
Chorus 1
Im so glad youre gone
So glad you said goodbye
Im so glad youre gone
So glad you said goodbye
Do you really think Id just lay down and die
No infatuation
I dont believe your lies
I can see clearly now
The truth behind your eyes
Weight off my shoulders
No more tears to cry
The chains are broken
I see through your disguise
Chorus 2
Im so glad youre gone
So glad you said goodbye
Im so glad youre gone
So glad you said goodbye
No more angry words, no chance for you to lie
Did you really think Id just lay down and die
Passion fades away
Love can turn to hate
And all the words I want to say
Are left in the hands of fate

Don't You Feel Better Already?
The only thing we have in common,

And the more of that we share...
The better off we will be!

The Weight Is My Soul
(graham russell)
In the night when youre lonely and you cant find a word for how you feel
Theres a place that you know of where the lights are so low theyre hardly real,
In a chair on the front verandah is a weight with a thought to set you free.
The weight is my soul
The weight is my soul, come to me.
I can see through the streetlights where the evening air is turning round
All I hear is the hangin of the moon and the stars on the sky.
In a chair on the front verandah is a weight with a thought to set you free.
The weight is my soul
The weight is my soul, come to me.
Have you thought of the times when your heart and your mind are free
Have you thought of the times when your heart and your mind are free
In the night when youre lonely and you cant find a word for how you feel,
Theres a place that you know of where the lights are so low theyre hardly real,
In a chair on the front verandah is a weight with a thought to set you free
The weight is my soul
The weight is my soul, come to me.

Decision To Move
Nobody can swim
indefinitely.
With a weight.
Tied around their legs.
Sometimes a weight.
Can be a single
person or event.
Sometimes a weight
combines to be more.

Who Is To Know This?
The load too heavy.
With a shifting done,
On sore shoulders.
And assistance never comes...
To the one,
Appearing to carry weight...
As a custom shown,
That becomes ignored by everyone.
The load too heavy.
With a shifting done,
On sore shoulders.
Hurts.
But who is to know this?
Or notice.
When lives lived to exist,
Become part of an atmosphere...
Accepted as seen,
With no other life known.
And assistance never comes...
To the one,
Appearing to carry weight...
As a custom shown.
But...
Who is to know this?
Or notice?
When lives lived to exist,
Become part of an atmosphere...
Accepted as seen,
With no other life known.
