The Weight of Living - Ximon Von Trapp

There's an albatross around your neck All the things you've said And the things you've done Can you carry it with no regrets? Can you stand the person you've become? Oh, there's a light Oh, there's a light Your albatross, let it go, let it go Your albatross, shoot it down, shoot it down When you just can't shake The heavy weight of living Stepping forward out into the day Shrugging off the dust and memory Though it's soaring still above your head It is out of sight and none shall see Oh, there's a light Oh, there's a light Your albatross, let it go, let it go Your albatross, shoot it down, shoot it down When you just can't shake The heavy weight of living When you just can't seem to shake The heavy weight of living It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes Your albatross, let it go, let it go Your albatross, shoot it down, shoot it down When you just can't shake The heavy weight of living When you just can't seem to shake The weight of living The weight of living The weight of living The weight of living The weight of living

Feels like the weight of the world Like God in heaven gave me a turn Don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you Still in the dark, can you fix me? Freefall, freefall, all through life If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I used to be She's nothing to me Feels like the weight of the world Like all my screaming has gone unheard And oh, I know you don't believe in me Safe in the dark, how can you see? Freefall, freefall, all through life If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I used to be If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I was If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I used to be

Disappear from your hometown Go and find the people that you know Show them all your good parts Leave town when the bad ones start to show Go and wed a woman A pretty girl that you've never met Make sure she knows you love her well But don't make any other promises The weight of lies will bring you down And follow you to every town 'Cause nothing happens here That doesn't happen there So when you run, make sure you run To something and not away from 'Cause lies don't need an aeroplane To chase you anywhere I once heard the worst thing A man can do is draw a hungry crowd To tell everyone his name, pride and confidence But leaving out his doubt I'm not sure I bought those words When I was young, I knew most everything These words have never meant as much to anyone As they now mean to me The weight of lies will bring you down And follow you to every town 'Cause nothing happens here That doesn't happen there So when you run, make sure you run To something and not away from 'Cause lies don't need an aeroplane To chase you down The weight of lies will bring you down And follow you to every town 'Cause nothing happens here That doesn't happen there So when you run, make sure you run To something and not away from 'Cause lies don't need an aeroplane To chase you anywhere The weight of lies will bring you down And follow you to every town 'Cause nothing happens here That doesn't happen there So when you run, make sure you run To something and not away from 'Cause lies don't need an aeroplane To chase you down
