How Much Does the World Weigh

I sat up thinkin' late last night Do they have a way to count the stars There's a lot of scientific minds That claim to know what all the answers are Well if that's the case How much does the world weigh Somebody's probably worked it out You can look up what the experts say But all you gotta do is look around You'd be surprised who knows Ask that woman tryin' to make the rent And 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 Now he has to fight that battle every day 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 Well don't ask me Ask that couple in the waiting room The doctors say it's still too soon It's their little girl, all they can do is pray Ask that little boy who's gotta choose Mom or Dad, either way he'll lose They're breakin' up and he thinks he's to blame Hey, how much does the world weigh Ask that man hangin' on the cross His last breath will save the lost The answer's in the tears on his face Hey, how much does the world weigh Well, how much does the world weigh Well, how much does the world weigh
