The Weight 歌詞

I'm going down to the riverbank this morning Way before the family is awake Gonna lay me down at the foot of the water And spill out all my troubles for everyone's sake You can't have love when you never can surrender I've been spreading around my anger like a plague I've sailed this far with my boat on fire Fighting flames each day, too stubborn to expire I will soak my soul Let the river take control Let the river take control I know it's not too late To let go the weight To let go the weight The sun will rise and shine on me this morning It will seep its way into my heart And untie all the knots that have hardened me through the years And I'll embrace wisdom that sun will impart And with this heat burning inside me I will warm all of the people that I love In their darkest of hours and weakest of minds I'll light up their nights with every star I can find I will soak my soul Let the river take control Let the river take control I know it's not too late To let go the weight To let go the weight
