The World And It's Way - Joanne Shaw Taylor

I CAN’T HOLD THE WEIGHT OF YOUR WORLD

FOR FOREVER AND A DAY

YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE PLAY

TURN AROUND AND SAY

THAT IT’S ALL OK

I CAN’T HEED THE LIFE YOU LEAD

OR WHERE YOU SET YOUR SIGHTS

YOU’VE LONG RAISED THAT BAR

AND IF WE GET HALF THAT FAR

THEN WERE DOING ALRIGHT

WE’RE DOING ALRIGHT

JUST AS NIGHT TURNS ROUND TO DAY

WE’LL SEE IT THROUGH

AND BE HERE TO SAY

THAT’S JUST THE WORLD AND IT’S WAY

YOU POUR IN MY HANDS

JUST LIKE WATER TO SAND

DRAGGED DOWN WITH THE TIDE

YOU’RE MY MAN AND IT’S TIME TO

UNDERSTAND

I’LL BE AROUND FOR THE RIDE

JUST AS NIGHT TURNS ROUND TO DAY

WE’LL SEE IT THROUGH

AND BE HERE TO SAY

THAT’S JUST THE WORLD AND IT’S WAY

THERE’LL ALWAYS BE A LESSON

IN THE TRIALS TO LEARN

THERE’LL ALWAYS BE A BLESSING

AMONGST THE HARDTIMES TO DISCERN
