The Girl With The Weight Of The World In Her Hands - Indigo Girls[00:00:00]
She won't recover from her losses[00:00:14]
She's not chosen this path[00:00:20]
But she watches who it crosses[00:00:24]
Maybe move to the right[00:00:28]
Maybe move to the left[00:00:31]
So we can all see her pain she wears[00:00:35]
Like a banner on her chest[00:00:39]
And we all say it's sad[00:00:43]
And we think it's a shame[00:00:46]
And she's called to our attention[00:00:49]
But we do not call her name[00:00:54]
The girl with the weight[00:00:58]
Of the world in her hands[00:01:01]
Cause we're busy with our happiness[00:01:09]
And busy with our plans[00:01:14]
I wonder if alone she wants it[00:01:17]
Taken from her hands[00:01:21]
But if things didn't keep getting harder[00:01:24]
She might miss her sacred chance[00:01:31]
To go a consecrated martyr[00:01:34]
The girl with the weight[00:01:39]
Of the world in her hands[00:01:42]
I wonder which saint[00:01:48]
That lives inside a bead[00:01:51]
Will grant her consolation[00:01:55]
When she counts upon her need[00:01:58]
It makes us all angry[00:02:02]
Though we feign to care[00:02:05]
But who will be the scale[00:02:09]
To weigh the cross she has to bear[00:02:13]
The girl with the weight[00:02:17]
Of the world in her hands[00:02:20]
Is the glass half full or empty[00:02:29]
I ask her as I fill it[00:02:33]
She said it doesn't really matter[00:02:36]
Pretty soon you're bound to spill it[00:02:40]
With the half logic language[00:02:43]
Of the sermon she delivers[00:02:47]
And the way she smiles so knowingly[00:02:50]
At me gives me the shivers[00:02:54]
I pull the blanket higher[00:02:58]
When I'm finally safe at home[00:03:02]
And she'll take a hundred with her[00:03:05]
But she always sleeps alone[00:03:09]
The girl with the weight[00:03:13]
Of the world in her hands[00:03:17]
I wonder which saint[00:03:22]
That lives inside a bead[00:03:25]
Will grant her consolation[00:03:29]
When she counts upon her need[00:03:33]
It makes us all angry[00:03:36]
Though we feign to care[00:03:39]
But who will be the scale[00:03:43]
To weigh the cross she has to bear[00:03:47]
The girl with the weight[00:03:51]
Of the world in her hands[00:03:55]
