Midnight
Gazing upwards under the moonlight
You say that we'll be free someday
When everything is light and memory and noise
The gravity that kept us down
And kept us from our voice
Shine bright
The first star I saw tonight
Unfettered by our lives
The plans we made, the people we obey
We have our lives so full of all of this red tape
We could have gone to Mars by now
If we could make a choice

You call yourself an astronaut
But you'll never come back down to Earth
On the solar winds you choose to coast
You call yourself a cosmonaut
But you'll never take me out of here
Even when the people need you most

I'm still carrying the
Weight of the world
And I think I've always needed
To carry that load upon my shoulder
I'm still carrying the
Weight of the world
And I think it's time
To come back down before I get much older

Starlight
Gazing upwards, dreaming of spaceflight
Wash your hands, wash away the stain
We always loved to run away from misery
But we're still here and have to live
With ruined self-esteem
I've seen
How bad the world can get
A heavy load to bear
Like Atlas with his purpose and his pain
We've made a mess of everything we thought we were
The majesty of planet Earth
America's dead dream

It's easier to stay in bed
Harder not to know the newest curse
Laid upon us all by human greed
It's easier to hide my head
But it's harder hiding who I am
This time we can't follow we must lead

But I'm still carrying the
Weight of the world
And I think I've always needed
To carry that load upon my shoulder
I'm still carrying the
Weight of the world
And I think it's time
To come back down before I get much older
