Lyrics
Heavy Lifting
Music: Bowe/Sterling
Lyrics: Bowe/Sterling
Bashti Music BMI Andelse Publishing BMI
When you wake up on the floor
like something washed up on the floor
and you can't take it one day more
without a friend
when your burden is like a stone
and you can't bear it on your own
but you know you're all alone
you can't pretend
for every lost and lonely soul
there's a hand out there to hold
and it's waiting for you to wake up and take it
Chorus
Heavy Lifting, Heavy Lifting
when you get knocked down on your knees
someday you're going to need
Heavy Lifting, Heavy Lifting
It might be silent, but it's strong
but it's been waiting all along
it doesn't care if you're right or wrong
it ain't going nowhere
for every lonesome, broken night
there's a morning, theres a light
just waiting for you to let yourself live it
Chorus
For every lonesome broken night
there's a morning, there's a light
just waiting for you to let yourself live it
Heavy Lifting, Heavy Lifting
when you get knocked down on your knees
someday you're gonna need
Heavy Lifting, Heavy Lifting
from your soul down to your bones
you can't carry it alone
Heavy Lifting, Heavy Lifting, Heavy Lifting
