Weight On Me

Week 4, Song #3 - A song from many years ago that I never finished. Practicing adding backing vocals and timing. This one came from feeling the weight of others claiming to know who I was and not fully seeing all of me, but knowing that is the reality of the world. In turn, I can change how I engage with the world and myself.
Verse 1:
Everybody knows.
Everybody sees.
Everybody thinks…
they know me.
Verse 2:
This life is hard,
but we’re (I’m) still here.
Don’t know quite how,
but we’ll get there.
Chorus:
That’s the way of the world.
That’s the way of the world.
That’s the way of the world.
That’s the weight on me.
That’s the weight on me.
Verse 3:
Staying calm.
Patience now.
Breathe in, breathe out.
I stand my ground.
Chorus:
That’s the way of the world.
That’s the way of the world.
That’s the weight of the world.
That’s the weight on me.
That’s the weight on me.
