Weight of the World
Released on Innocents album.
------------------------------

Hey little wise man
You've got the sweetest notion
Ooh the sweetest thing
Just once in a lifetime
You need a helping hand
Ooh a helping hand

You keeped it wrapped up inside
It's like a lethal potion
Gonna find it soul-destroying

Whoa, don't take it any further now baby
Whoa, won't lead you anywhere
Whoa, it's pushin' and a-hurtin' you baby
Whoa, I'll say a little prayer

No other wise man
Can take the pain like you do
Ooh the pain like you
You're putting on plain face
But it gets to you somehow
Ooh gets through somehow

You hold your head in your hands
And the weight of the world on your shoulders
Come and pour your heart out to me

Whoa, don't take it any further now baby
Whoa, won't lead you anywhere
Whoa, it's pushin' and a-hurtin' you baby
Whoa, I'll say a little prayer

You keeped it wrapped up inside
It's like a lethal potion
Gonna find it soul-destroying

Whoa, don't take it any further now baby
Whoa, won't lead you anywhere
Whoa, it's pushin' and a-hurtin' you baby
Whoa, I'll say a little prayer
