ARI HEST - The Weight lyrics
rate me<br>
I’m going down to the riverbank this morning<br />
Way before the family is awake<br />
Gonna lay me down at the foot of the water<br />
And spill out all my troubles for everyone’s sake<br />
<br />
You can’t have love when you never can surrender<br />
I’ve been spreading around my anger like a plague<br />
I’ve sailed this far with my boat on fire<br />
Fighting flames each day, too stubborn to expire<br />
<br />
I will soak my soul<br />
Let the river take control<br />
Let the river take control<br />
I know it’s not too late<br />
To let go the weight<br />
To let go the weight<br />
<br />
The sun will rise and shine on me this morning<br />
It will seep its way into my heart<br />
And untie all the knots that have hardened me through the years<br />
And I’ll embrace wisdom that sun will impart<br />
<br />
And with this heat burning inside me<br />
I will warm all of the people that I love<br />
In their darkest of hours and weakest of minds<br />
I’ll light up their nights with every star I can find<br />
<br />
I will soak my soul<br />
Let the river take control<br />
Let the river take control<br />
I know it’s not too late<br />
To let go the weight<br />
To let go the weight
<br><br><br><br>
<br>
