That Great Weight Lyrics

That great weight

The one you never manage to let go

You did not ask for it, but it's put on to you

And now you gotta bear that load

That great weight

The one you bring everywhere you go

You were not born with it, so it's been taught to you

Or maybe self imposed

It's so easy to be convinced to worry

It's far too simple a thing, breaking down

That great weight you've been made to carry

Weighs nothing now

Sometimes I get to thinking

When I'm feeling low a little too long

I start having these crazy ideas

Get thinking I'd be better off gonе

But then I get to thinking

Well if thе world is no worse or better off

I could never stop it or even slow its spinning

And that sorta takes the pressure off

It's so easy to be convinced to hurry

There's no one ever gonna want you slowing down

That great weight you've been made to carry

Weighs nothing now

That great weight you've been made to carry

Weighs nothing now

Might come back again

Deal with that then

It weighs nothing now
