Weight of the World
JVNA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel like I'm losing hope
In my body and my soul
And the sky, it looks so ominous

And as time comes to a halt
Silence starts to overflow
My cries are inconspicuous
Tell me God, are you punishing me?
Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?

This is my redemption song
I need you more than ever right now
Can you hear me now?

Cause we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world

I wish that someway, somehow
That I could save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl

Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life
Come to life...

After all the laughter fades
Signs of life all washed away
I can still, still feel a gentle breeze

No matter how hard I pray
Signs of warning still remain
And life has become my enemy

Tell me God, are you punishing me?
Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?

This is my redemption song
I need you more than ever right now
Can you hear me now?

Cause we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world

I wish that someway, somehow
That I could save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl

Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life
Come to life...

Cause we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world

I wish that someway, somehow
That I could save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl

Still, we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world

I hope that someway, somehow
That I could save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl





Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life
Come to life...
