heavy on my mind

we did everything we could

to slow this world down

now my love

is in the ground

shoulder-to-shoulder

eye-to-eye

i wish this were farewell

but i'm afraid it's goodbye

it weighs heavy on my mind

oh

so heavy on my mind

it weighs heavy on my mind

oh

so heavy on my mind

sometimes i wish

sometimes i

locked in a safe

in a cage

in a cell

we can wait out the storm

or we can stand in the rain

gonna have to mourn

or hide from some pain

it weighs heavy on my mind

oh

so heavy on my mind

it weighs heavy on my mind

heavy on my mind

and if one night

the whole world saw the light

the unknown made itself clear

a familiar sound

heard from all around

telling us there's nothing to fear

it weighs heavy on my mind

heavy

heavy on my mind

so heavy on my mind
