paroles de chanson Weight Of The World - GHOSTWRITER Mix - Michael Weston King , Ghostwriter

I put a cross beside the name
I thought that it would be a change for good
The boys down at the station all convinced me
Though I never really understood

But I saw them on the news the other night
And I clearly understand it's not right
To hold a man down, while he begs for his life

It's not the weight of the world on our shoulders
It's the weight of a man

For years I've patrolled these streets
Still I marvel at the lights on Broadway
But tonight it's dark, tonight it's quiet
There's no-one here to get out of my way

Now I'm looking to the man who got my vote
Why do decency and love stick in his throat
Who sends soldiers to the streets instead of messengers of hope

It's not the weight of the world on our shoulders
It's the weight of a man
That keeps us down
It's not the weight of the world on our shoulders
It's the weight of a man

Tomorrow you will walk the streets
Shielded by a thin red line of blue
And you will stand before St. John
And I will stand there right beside you

But you won't know my name or even care
While you hold somebody's bible in the air
I'll be just another number
No longer acting dumber
Looking for salvation with a thousand yard stare

It's not the weight of the world on our shoulders
It's the weight of a man
That keeps us down
It's not the weight of the world on our shoulders
It's the weight of a man
