lirik lagu amy speace - weight of the world
[verse 1]
i still see my brother michael
pressed and polished, shaking hands down at the store
and everyone had come to see the all~star
hop the greyhound bus to go to war
he punched me in the arm to say goodbye
it was the first time that i saw our father cry
[verse 2]
i kept all my brother’s letters
tied in ribbon in a box beneath my bed
and every night i read by flashlight
with the covers in a tent above my head
his words said, “not to worry, doing fine”
it was his way of trying to ease my mind
while i was trying not to rеad between the lines
[chorus]
thе weight of the world, too heavy to lift
so much to lose and so much to miss
and it doesn’t seem fair that an innocent boy
should have to carry the weight of the world
[verse 3]
then it was homecoming and football games
and picking out our dresses for the prom
with my brother in some desert
dodging bullets when he wasn’t dodging bombs
and we went from the land of brave and free
to just being afraid to disagree
while i was being brought down to my knees by
[chorus]
the weight of the world, too heavy to lift
and so much to lose and so much to miss
that it doesn’t seem fair that an innocent boy
should have to carry the weight of the world
[verse 4]
oh, it was the middle of december
when the army sent my brother home at last
while the flagpole by the football field
flew the colors halfway down the mast
the wind blew cold and snow was coming down
still everybody turned out from our town
as we laid my brother in that frozen ground
[chorus]
the weight of the world, too heavy to lift
so much was lost and so much was missed
that it doesn’t seem fair that any boy and any girl
should have to carry the weight of the world
should have to carry the weight of the world
