[Verse 1]
I’ve been carrying stones in my chest,
Dreams that never let me rest.
Every prayer just fades to dust,
And every hope turns back to rust.
I looked up, but the sky fell down,
Turned my smile to a beggar’s crown.
But even broken, I still believe,
There’s gold in the pain I bleed.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
And though it hurts, I’ll stand my ground,
Even heaven can’t keep me down.
---
[Chorus]
The weight of heaven’s on my soul,
But I won’t break, I won’t let go.
I’ve been crushed by holy stones,
Still I rise, still I glow.
If the angels turn their eyes,
I’ll be the thunder they can’t deny.
Carry me through fire and rain —
I’ll bear the weight of heaven again.
---
[Verse 2]
I’ve been walking on shattered glass,
Every dream just came to pass.
But my shadow learns to sing,
When the night forgets the spring.
I’ve seen mercy wear a thief’s disguise,
Heard the truth through a liar’s cries.
But the light in me won’t fade,
It’s the promise that I’ve made.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
And though it hurts, I’ll stand my ground,
Even heaven can’t keep me down.
---
[Chorus]
The weight of heaven’s on my soul,
But I won’t break, I won’t let go.
I’ve been crushed by holy stones,
Still I rise, still I glow.
If the angels turn their eyes,
I’ll be the thunder they can’t deny.
Carry me through fire and rain —
I’ll bear the weight of heaven again.
---
[Bridge – voller Pathos, Gospel-Chor im Hintergrund]
Let the stars come crashing down,
I was lost, but now I’m found.
If the sky should fall on me,
I’ll turn the pain to melody.
---
[Final Chorus – episch und erlösend]
The weight of heaven’s on my soul,
But I won’t break, I won’t let go.
I’ve been crushed by holy stones,
Still I rise, still I glow.
If the angels turn their eyes,
I’ll be the thunder they can’t deny.
Carry me through fire and rain —
I’ll bear the weight of heaven again.
