Dave Matthews Band - The Weight Of The World Lyrics
So we wroteOn precedents and angelsWe build a bookWe build a road out of nothing but a sayingOut of governments and police we build a bookOf how the things we know should beSo when a man comes with a differenceA woman comes with an ideaWe crush it down to nothing in the fear that we will lose itOpen up the booksIm guilty of it, tooJust like all of usThe information flies without us throughAnd say the wayThis may have leave my head run overAnd pass through a night so black, I cant see you, ohHope from the speeches spoken inHope from the speeches made day in, day outWith money paidAnd adverising ragingA woman and a child sleep well as the day endsRaising me upRaising me like a man, oh man (? )Oh mother everything good Ive gained Ive gained from youOh and mother everything Ive know I learned from you, ohBut, the reign in the house so no one sees meOh, should we brothers and sisters upheave it?I read a book of a man most worshippedA man who most worshippedFor ideas and for the birth of freedom he showedWell, in, oh in twenty yearsHe begged the revolutions comeSo that no pig-headed bastard would steal you and iFrom...my fun (? )Rain in the eyesRain in the mourning eyeOh rain/reign in the love of my mother, my brothersAnd I hear the voices of women calling loudly and (here,Holding, holding, holding)And nothing should address this like our love for each other...This land is your landThis land is my landFrom california to new york islandFrom the redwood forestTo the gulf stream watersThis land belongs to you and meRain/reign in the eyes that we should lead itAnd the brotherly love and go awayAnd rain/reign in the eyes that we should lead it
