lyrics

Do you know that you
carry yourself so well?
No one knows the hell
You describe
Nobody can tell
But you're blue
blue as your eyes
blue as the ocean
is wide
Dark as the night
nothing is right
nothing is right

And your father he walked
across the sand
One thousand miles
On the way to the promised land
And your mother was born
in the wake of the storm
Two ships in the night
would finally find
their port in New York

And they carried the weight
they carried the weight
they carried the weight to shore
They carried the weight
they carried the weight
they carried the weight to shore

And your sister confided
that only was lonely and wanted to share
And your mother decided
the weight of one more was a weight
she could bear

But the water runs deep
and there are secrets we keep
in our blood from before we are born
We come into this life
none the wiser of struggle and strife
that our ancestors bore

We carry the weight
we carry the weight
we carry the weigh to shore
We carry the weight
we carry the weight
we carry the weigh to shore

And even when
we shed our skin
we're still the same
animal underneath
And we all have our origin
story we stick to
regardless of how
incomplete
And you grew up to be
a lovely and sweet
that you do not extend
to yourself
But you can always reel in
the anchor within
whenever you're ready
to sail

And I'll carry the weight
I'll carry the weight
I'll carry the weight of my love
I'll carry the weight
I'll carry the weight
I'll carry the weight of my love
And I'll carry the weight
I'll carry the weight
I'll carry the weight of my love
When you're floating away
out of sight, out of range I'll
carry the weight of my love

Ooo...
