| I sat up thinkin' late last night
|
| Do they have a way to count the stars?
|
| There’s a lot of scientific minds that claim
|
| To know what all the answers are
|
| Well, if that’s the case
|
| How much does the world weigh
|
| Somebody’s probably worked it out
|
| You can look up what the experts say
|
| But all you gotta do is look around
|
| You’d be surprised who knows
|
| Ask that woman tryin' to make the rent
|
| Pay the bills and feed the kids
|
| Six months ago their daddy walked away
|
| Ask that man whose family stayed around
|
| He finally put that bottle down
|
| Now he has to fight that battle every day
|
| Hey, how much does the world weigh?
|
| Human spirit is a funny thing
|
| Gow far it bends before it breaks
|
| And to keep the world from caving in
|
| How much strength does it take?
|
| Well, don’t ask me
|
| Ask that couple in the waitin' room
|
| The doctors say it’s still too soon
|
| It’s their little girl all they can do is pray
|
| Ask that little boy who’s gotta choose
|
| Mom or dad either way he’ll lose
|
| They’re breakin' up, and he thinks he’s to blame
|
| Hey, how much does the world weigh?
|
| Ask that man hanging on the cross
|
| His last breath will save the lost
|
| The answer’s in the tears on his face
|
| Hey, how much does the world weigh?
|
| How much does the world weigh?
|
| How much does the world weigh… |
