Sat up thinking late last night
Do they have a way to count the stars?
There's a lot of scientific minds
That claim to know what all the answers are
But thats the case

How much does the world weigh?
Somebody's probably worked it out
You could look up what all the experts say
But all you got to do is look around
Youll be surprised who knows

Ask that woman trying to make the rent
Pay the bills and feed the kids
Six months ago their daddy walked away
Ask that man whose family stayed around
'Til he finally put the bottle down
Now he fights that battle everyday
How much does the world weigh?

The human spirit is a funny thing
How far it bends before it breaks
And to keep the world from caving in 
How much strength does it take
Well, don't ask me

Ask that couple in the waiting room
The doctors say it's still too soon
It's their little girl, all they can do is pray
Ask that little boy whos gotta choose
Mom or Dad either way he'll lose
Breaking up and he thinks he's to blame
How much does the world weigh?

Ask that Man hanging on the cross
His last breath was save the lost
The answer's in the tears on his face
How much does the world weigh?
How much does the world weigh?
How much does the world weigh?
