lyrics

Monday's cool, Tuesday too
Wednesday play the fool
Thursday's pain and Friday's shame
Saturday back to school
Sunday's my day of rest Lord give me rest Lord
Give me rest
Get this weary head up smile show your face get out of bed

The weight of the world on my shoulders, who knows why
Gotta be someone when I grow up before I die

Spring and autumn feel the same
The wash and the burn of the rain
Who knows among the summer show
I could grow, plateau or change
Winter inside in spite of it all I might germinate like others do
I've seen some others fly the blue sky and be big be bold be youthful

The weight of the world on my shoulders, who knows why
Gotta be someone when I grow up before I die

January kiss like a stone
April is a marksman unknown
August can be anything far and wide
An island overgrown
October feels all restless, love and tender, windswept eyes
Wait beyond December, still be seeds to sow

Some days up, some days down
Sometimes the talk of the town
I can be what I need to be to get by
And I can fall so hard to the ground
Far off the radar and out there, so far out there, so far out
Painfully mundane and back to it Monday, got no more room for doubt

The weight of the world on my shoulders, who knows why
Gotta be someone when I grow up before I die
