Jon Foreman - Weight of The World Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
Carry the weight of the world
In all of the faces You've found
Carry the weight of the world
With deadlines on the ground
Balance the world on Your head
It fits like a knife in Your chest
Breathing is bitter and sweet
Ah, ah
Chorus
I've been waiting for
Your capable hands to come down
Ooh, I've been praying for
Your capable hands to come down and turn this around
Your capable hands
Could carry the weight of the world
Verse 2
Where are You now?
Where are You now?
How does it fit in Your plans?
Sometimes I don't understand
I feel nothing
Chorus
Oh, I've been waiting for
Your capable hands to comе down
Ooh, I've been praying for
Your capable hands to come down and turn this around
Your capablе hands
Could carry the weight of the world
Post-Chorus
Carry the weight
Carry the weight
Carry the weight of the world
Carry the weight
I feel nothing
Outro
Oh, I've been waiting for
Your capable hands to come down
Oh, I've been praying for
Your capable hands to come down
Ooh, I've been waiting for
Your capable hands to come down and turn this around
Your capable hands
Could carry the weight of the world
