The Weight (Dancepop Version) Lyrics

In the shadow of the mountains where the rivers bend and flow

I pulled into Nazareth with a heart so full of woe

Dust upon my shoulders dreams scattered in the air

Oh I'm searching for a haven a place that's free from care

Take a load off Fanny let your burdens drift away

Find a moment's solace in this fleeting day

Take a load off Fanny share your troubles with me here

We'll carry all together through the laughter and the tears

The sun was setting slowly; shadows danced upon the ground

Met Carmen by the crossroads where lost souls can be found

Come on now I beckoned; her eyes held stories untold

But she whispered softly back to me—her heart was never sold

Take a load off Fanny let your burdens drift away

Find a moment's solace in this fleeting day

Take a load off Fanny share your troubles with me here

We'll carry all together through the laughter and the tears

Crazy Chester lingered like an echo from my past;

Feed my loyal Jack now; these bonds are made to last

And oh Miss Moses waits where silence meets regret—

With each soul that's lost along this road we won't forget

Now Luke sits by his window as judgment clouds draw near;

He sighs for young Anna-Lee while holding back his fear

But life is but a journey—a tapestry we weave—

So I'll stay and keep her company while others choose to leave

Take a load off Fanny let your burdens drift away

Find a moment's solace in this fleeting day

Take a load off Fanny share your troubles with me here

We'll carry all together through the laughter and the tears

Catch that cannonball rolling down these winding tracks of time;

My heavy heart is lighter when you walk along with mine

Back to dear Miss Fanny—I'll whisper soft goodbyes—

For every step we take together lights our way beneath these skies

Take a load off Fanny (fade out)

Let your burdens drift away

Find that moment's solace (fade out)

In this fleeting day
