Heavy Heart

I was born with a heavy heart

A heavy beating from the very start

With bended back and two weary feet

My burden brings me down to my knees

Praying please don’t fail me now

Don’t fail me now, don’t fail me now

Lift me up, let me see the stars

And I’ll beat on with a heavy heart

Mother, are you there?

You told me you’d be with me everywhere

In this vale of tears

Lighting every minute of every year

But you left me with this weight inside

This shroud around me, and cheeks that never dry

I was born with a heavy heart

A heavy beating from the very start

With bended back and two weary feet

My burden brings me down to my knees

Praying please don’t fail me now

Don’t fail me now, don’t fail me now

Lift me up, let me see the stars

And I’ll beat on with a heavy heart

Mother, what’s the price?

I’ve got nothing left to sacrifice

May I pay with pride? Will all be settled in the afterlife?

You left me with too much to bear

It broke me, Mama, and I cannot be repaired

I was born with a heavy heart

A heavy beating from the very start

With bended back and two weary feet

My burden brings me down to my knees

Praying please don’t fail me now

Don’t fail me now, don’t fail me now

Lift me up, let me see the stars

And I’ll beat on with a heavy heart

I was born with a heavy heart

A heavy beating from the very start

I was born with a heavy heart, born with a heavy heart
