How Much Does The World Weigh

Written：Larry Michael White/Lee Thomas Miller

I sat up thinking late last night

Do they have a way to count the stars

Theres a lot of scientific minds

Who claim to know what all the answers are

Well if thats the case

How much does the world weigh

Somebodys probably worked it out

You could look up what the experts say

But all you gotta do is look around

Youd 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

cause he finally put that bottle down

But now he fights that battle everyday

Hey, how much does the world weigh

Human spirit is a funny thing

How far it bends before it breaks

To keep the world from caving in

How much strength does it take

Dont ask me

Ask that couple in the waiting room

The doctors say its still too soon

Its their little girl and all they can do is pray

Ask that little boy whose gotta choose

Mom or dad, either way hell lose

Theyre breaking up and he thinks hes to blame

Hey, how much does the world weigh

Ask that man hanging on the cross

His last breath will save the lost

The answers in the tears on his face

How much does the world weigh

How much does the world weigh
