How Much Does the World Weigh

                                  Sat up thinking late last night

Do they have a way to count the stars

There's a lot of scientific minds

They claim to know what all the answers are

But that's the case



How much does the world weigh

Somebody's probably worked it out

You could look up what all the experts say

But all you got to do is look around

You'll be surprised to notice

Ask that girl that trying to make the rent

Pay the bills and feed the kids 

Six months ago there daddy walked away

Ask that man whose family stayed around 

When he finally put the bottle down 

Now he fights that battle everyday

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 folding in How much strength does it take

Well don't ask me



Ask that couple in the waiting room

The doctors say its still too soon

Its their little girl All they can do is pray

Ask that little boy who's gotta choose

Mom or Dad either way he'll lose

Breaking up and he thinks he's to blame

How much does the world weigh



Ask that man who's hanging on the cross

His last breath would save the lost

The answers in the tears on his face 



[Repeat: x3]
