Harlan Howard "The World Is Weighing Heavy on My Mind" |
(Harlan Howard) While we're drinking our martinis There's a little child that's starving in Biafra And the good life that I'm living makes me happy but not blind I see my neighbors dying For the freedom that I always took for granted And the world is weighing heavy on my mind. As I hold and kiss my woman and caress our healthy children I feel sympathy For the lonely souls that search for love but never find And I wish to God they had the love And happiness that I've got For their tears are weighing heavy on my mind. God, I thank you for my blessin's And I'll try hard to deserve 'em And each day I hope I'm better than the day I left behind But I see the poor and sad Lord And they're needin' you so bad Lord Won't you help 'em find the happiness in life you've given mine. Now I'll give a word of comfort to a stranger Who is down and need a buddy And I'll try to be the kind of friend we seek but seldom find And I'll give a little more than I've received Of human kindness For the world is weighing heavy on my mind. This old world is weighing heavy on my mind... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
