How Much Does The World Weigh Paroles

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
And pay the bills and feed the kids
Six months ago their daddy walked away
Ask that man whose family stayed around
'Cause 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
How far it bends before it breaks
To keep the world from caving in
How much strength does it take
Well don't ask me

Ask that couple in the waiting room They're breakin' up and he thinks he's to blame
Hey, how much does the world weigh

Ask that man hangin' 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
Well, how much does the world weigh
Well, how much does the world weigh
