Heavy Is the Weight

Heavy is the weight that rests upon my soul

Heavy is the heart that must endure this toll

Heavy are the eyes that have known no sleep

Heavy is my burden brother, get me relief

I turn to you, Lord, and say

"Heavy is the weight"

High up on the hilltop, down on the ground

Though I search and search

I know the truth may never be found

When I ask myself"which is it to be;

Have I got them blues

Or have the blues got me?"

I turn to you, Lord, and say

"Heavy is the weight"

Well I know you're leaving

And there's nothing I can do

So I'll roll and I'll tumble

And I'll cry the whole night through

Is there nothing left for me to say

As you saddle up your high horse

And you ride far away?

Ain't that a shame, ain't that a shame?

Heavy is the weight

Heavy is the weight that rests upon my soul

Heavy is the heart that must endure this toll

Heavy are the eyes that have known no sleep

Heavy is my burden brother, get me relief

I turn to you, Lord, and say

"Heavy is the weight"

Heavy is the weight
