lyrics

Weight Of The World

Feel like it’s been awhile
The sun hasn’t shined for a year
Live in exile
Burdened by all that fear

Before you know it
You’re drifting out to sea
That rope you were holding
Slips far out of reach

Some days you’re floating
Spellbound with desire
Others pin you down
Surrounded with barbed wire

I don’t wanna feel the weight of the world
Bearing down hard tonight
Turning from stones being hurled
Choosing what or who to fight

There’s nothing to prove when
You know there’s no losing
If your view is from the mountainside

It’s getting near sundown
The rumors will play out
I’ll try to ease my weary mind
As the air gets light

The passion hasn’t died
A flickering light in the distance
Sometimes we must decide
If it’s outside or inward resistance

Maybe damned if I do
But powerless if I don’t
True colors will show through
To reap what we sew

Some days are shining diamonds
Like a sparkle in your eyes
Others turn to dust
And the wind just makes you blind

I don’t wanna feel the weight of the world
Bearing down hard tonight
Turning from stones being hurled
Choosing what or who to fight

There’s nothing to prove when
You know there’s no losing
If your view is from the mountainside

It’s getting near sundown
The rumors will play out
I’ll try to ease my weary mind
As the air gets light

Always excited to learn and hear what Alex Lifeson does next and this is a fabulous pivot. And Maiah Wynne is a poetic vocal talent, infusing her performance with complex emotion. More please! Perchance Music & Digital Media (SM)

It’s interesting to hear these songs in acoustic vs. electric. This band has been a wonderful addition to my collection. Douglas Swinford

This is everything I love about John Wesley - organic and emotional, with that indescribable (shimmering?) Wesley guitar that elevates everything he touches. A candid portrait from a man blessed with the talent to put his soul into song. Margo Leigh Tiernan
