Weight Of The World - Beth Hart

Daddy is blowing leaves around the lawn

He’s laughing and joking humming funny songs

He’s saying you gotta stand for something child

His heart is wide open when he looks me in the eyes

He says when the weight of the world is on your shoulders

The rope is getting thin run for the hills lay down in the water

But I just wanna come home, home, home

Where I started from home, home, home

Before the weight of the world

Turns my heart to stone

Mama is holding tomatoes in the yard

Her hair is all golden and her soul’s a superstar

She’s dancing to billies you gotta find your way

She keeps saying don’t worry I’ll love you anyway

Then she says if you ever feel that you don’t matter

Or your best ain’t good enough, run for the hills lay down in the water

But I just wanna come home, home, home

Where I started from home, home, home

Before the weight of the world

Turns my heart to stone

I was so lucky as anyone could ever be

My love is long and deeper than the sea

No I never said it and I hope you will forgive

Cause I thank you both for showing me how to live

If the weight of the world should leave you tired

Abandoned and stoned I will be there I am your daughter

I’m coming home, home, home

I’m coming home, home, home

Yeah I’m coming home

Before the weight of the world, before the weight of the world

Yeah I’m coming home

Before the weight of the world, before the weight of the world

Yeah I’m coming home

Before the weight of the world, before the weight of the world

I’m coming home

Yeah, I’m coming home
