All he needed was a reason

Watched and waited but no reason came

Kept on working on the weight of the world

It started getting better until it got worse

Tonight, tonight we’ll go diving

Tonight, tonight while we’re alive

But never figured on the weight of the world

Started reading out the pages of the weight of the world

So he climbed and climbed to be sure he could be heard

When he opened up his heart

Words blew away on a wind so hard

Tonight, tonight we’ll go…
