Weight Of The Earth

verse 1

I woke beneath an open sky

with nothing left to prove

the world was turning under me

but I did not have to move

somewhere beyond the distant line

where land and heaven meet

I felt the weight I'd carried

loosening beneath my feet

pre-chorus

I don't know where I'm going

I don't know what I'll find

but something keeps on calling

from the other side

chorus

let the weight of the earth

fall away from me

let me rise through the silence

into all I cannot see

there's a place beyond knowing

there's a truth without a word

and for once I am not asking

I am waiting to be heard

verse 2

I watched the rivers drawing lines

across the fields below

every road I'd ever taken

looked smaller as I rose

and all the things I thought I needed

all the things I tried to save

became a distant memory

of another life I made

pre-chorus

I don't need an answer

I don't need a sign

maybe all we're given

is a little borrowed time

chorus

let the weight of the earth

fall away from me

let me rise through the silence

into all I cannot see

there's a place beyond knowing

there's a truth without a word

and for once I am not asking

I am waiting to be heard

instrumental

bridge

higher now

the ground is disappearing

farther now

the noise is growing small

and I can feel

something without ending

as though I was never falling

at all

guitar solo

final chorus

let the weight of the earth

fall away from me

there is more beyond the distance

than these tired hands can reach

I don't know where it leads me

I don't need to understand

for a moment I am nowhere

for a moment

I am

outro

the world keeps turning

far below

and where I'm going

I don't know
