The Weight She Carries Lyrics

She holds the sky the weight of it all

She wakes before the sunrise coffee in her hand

Stacks of bills on the counter no time to make a plan

Her kids are still dreaming their world's safe and sound

While she fights battles quietly where no one's around

She doesn't ask for praise doesn't need the light

She carries it all through the long quiet night

Do you see the weight she carries?

The dreams she lifts the burdens she buries

Every step she takes every tear she hides

She moves the mountains and holds the sky

She's the strength in a world that's unkind

The weight she carries would break most minds

Do you see the weight she carries?

The dreams she lifts the burdens she buries

Every step she takes every tear she hides

She moves the mountains and holds the sky

She's the strength in a world that's unkind

The weight she carries would break most minds

Her father left early her mother grew thin

She learned how to survive where love had worn thin

She built her life from ashes piece by piece

Every scar a reminder that pain can release

And though her hands are weary her heart's still aflame

She'll carry the world without seeking fame

Do you see the weight she carries?

The dreams she lifts the burdens she buries

Every step she takes every tear she hides

She moves the mountains and holds the sky

She's the strength in a world that's unkind

The weight she carries would break most minds

I see her when no one's looking just for a while

She lets her guard down and I catch her smile

Her laugh a fleeting ember in the coldest of nights

She's human and fragile but still ignites

Do you see the weight she carries?

The dreams she lifts the burdens she buries

Every step she takes every tear she hides

She moves the mountains and holds the sky

She's the strength in a world that's unkind

The weight she carries would break most minds

And when the world forgets the battles she's won

I'll whisper her story to everyone
