martyn joseph - weight of the world lyrics

[verse 1]
it’s the weight of the world
keeps us nervous at night
locks up the light
makes our efforts seem slight
and it’s the weight of the world
that’s pressing us down
it’s buckled your crown
and it’s watchin’ you drown

[verse 2]
mmm, the weight of the world
gouges the land
shrivels the sand
praises the bland
and it’s the weight of the world
that frenzies our fears
so when hope disappears
we start sharpening spears

[chorus]
so is this paradise or prison?
’cause the verdict is unclear
we’ve asked virtue to defend us
but she’s got a new career
sellin’ pills to make us grateful
and time+shares for our soul
she says, “anyone can stay there
’cause no one’s in control”
[verse 3]
for the weight of the world
brings ominous dawns
serves a breakfast of th+rns
and funeral yawns
and the weight of the world
plots the hero’s defeat
mocks the quiet and discreet
the blameless and the sweet

[verse 4]
and the weight of the world
demands nothing is saved
we end up enslaved
to the glib and depraved
and the weight of the world
likes to treasure despair
says beyond is not there
no celestial stair (yeah)

[verse 5]
it’s the world where we wait
it’s a temporary base
a chorus of grace
it’s a beautiful place
in the world where we wait
all our burdens are brief
and the black ties of grief
we soon leave beneath

[verse 6]
and the world where we wait
has miraculous powers
with plenty of hours
and oceans of flowers
the world where we wait
is a brief legacy
a quiet prophecy
of our near liberty

[chorus]
so is this paradise or prison?
’cause the verdict is unclear
we asked virtue to defend us
but she’s got a new career
sellin’ pills to make us grateful
and time+shares for our soul
she says, “anyone can stay there
’cause no one’s in control”
sellin’ pills to make us grateful
and time+shares for our soul
she says, “anyone can stay there
’cause no one’s in control” (yeah)
