The Weight of the World

Woke up this morning
With tears in my eyes
The weight of the world 
Makes me want to cry
It's heavy with sorrow
And the sin of mankind

The Weight Of The World

It's the blind leading the blind
So they can not see
Who then will tell them
If not you and me
The truth of Gods Word
And the freedom it brings

The Weight Of The World

I've been where they're at
So I know how insane
Falling two steps back
When one forward is taken
They're in a bad dream
And need a good shaken

The Weight Of The World

The weight of the world
Though heavy at times
Can be overcome
Sight returned to the blind
Accept what is true
Instead of the lies

And you'll drop...

The Weight Of The World

Very nice inspirational write Mike; I think of the Scripture "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."~Matthew 11:28~Che :)
