Weight of the World

Verse 1

(Am – B7 – Em)

I’ve been walking down this road

The skies just never cleared

Every mile another burden

Every step another fear

I kept stacking all the pressure

Like stones in a empty well

Till the mountain started rising

A weight I knew too well

⸻

Chorus

(G – C – B7)

The weight of the world was on my shoulders

What comes next only time will tell

If I turn into the mountain

Would that world fill up my well

The weight of the world is on my shoulders

Try to break what I became

If I can carry all this weight

Strong mountain will be my name

⸻

Verse 2

(Am – B7 – Em)

Funny how the heavy moments

Shape the ground beneath your feet

All the cracks that tried to break you

Turn to roots that run so deep

Every scar becomes a story

The bruises helped to tell

And the mountain keeps on standing

Like the stones in an empty well

⸻

Chorus

(G – C – B7)

The weight of the world was on my shoulders

What comes next only time will tell

If I turn into the mountain

Would that world fill up my well

The weight of the world is on my shoulders

Try to break what I became

If I can carry all this weight

Strong mountain will be my name

⸻

Bridge

(C – D – Em – B7)

Maybe the weight was the lesson

Maybe the road was the plan

Maybe the world on my shoulders

Was just teaching me to stand

And if the sky never clears

And the road never bends

I’ll just grow a little stronger

And be the mountain till the end

⸻

Final Chorus

(G – C – B7)

The weight of the world was on my shoulders

What comes next only time will tell

If I turn into the mountain

Would that world fill up my well

The weight of the world is on my shoulders

Try to break what I became

If I can carry all this weight

Strong mountain will be my name

⸻
