I stayed up thinking late last night
|
Do they have a way to count the stars
|
There¡¯s a lot of scientific minds
|
Who claim to know what all the answers are
|
Well if that¡¯s the case
|
How much does the world weigh
|
Somebody¡¯s probably worked it out
|
You could look up what the experts say
|
But all you gotta do is look around
|
You¡¯d be surprised who knows
|
|
Ask that woman trying to make the rent
|
Pay the bills and feed the kids
|
Six months ago their daddy walked away
|
Ask that man whose family stayed around
|
¡®Cause he finally put that bottle down
|
But now he fights that battle everyday
|
Hey, how much does the world weigh
|
|
The human spirit is a funny thing
|
How far it bends before it breaks
|
And to keep the world from caving in
|
How much strength does it take
|
Well don¡¯t ask me
|
|
Ask that couple in the waiting room
|
The doctors say it¡¯s still too soon
|
It¡¯s their little girl and all they can do is pray
|
Ask that little boy whose gotta choose
|
Mom or dad, either way he¡¯ll lose
|
They¡¯re breaking up and he thinks he¡¯s to blame
|
Hey, how much does the world weigh
|
|
Ask that man hanging on the cross
|
His last breath will save the lost
|
The answer¡¯s in the tears on his face
|
Hey, how much does the world weigh
|
How much does the world weigh
|
How much does the world weigh
|
