Weight of living, pt. i

There’s an albatross around your neck
All the things you’ve said and the things you’ve done
Can you carry it with no regrets?
Can you stand the person you’ve become?

Oh there’s a light
Oh there’s a light

Your albatross – Let it go, let it go
Oh your albatross – Shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can’t shake the heavy weight of living

Stepping forward out into the day
Shrugging of the dust of memory
Though it’s soaring still above your head
It is out of sight and none shall see

Oh there’s a light
Oh there’s a light

Your albatross – Let it go, let it go
Oh your albatross – Shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can’t shake the heavy weight of living
When you just can’t seem to shake the weight of living

It’s the sun in your eyes

Your albatross – Let it go, let it go
Your albatross – Shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can’t shake the heavy weight of living
When you just can’t seem to shake the weight of living
The weight of living
The weight of living
