Can see you hurting beneath your new red dress Beneath your sharp new shoes and your new tattoos you are directionless And I know you've been working as hard as you can To pre-empt the question, the expectation and I understand
So come on now if we all pull together We can lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Just for a moment or two
From the moment the phone alarm cuts the morning in two To the moment you close your bedroom door and all that's left is you There are a thousand auditions you didn't quite get through So many masks to wear, so much weight to bear but you were only ever you You were glorious you, you were glorious
So come on now if we all pull together We can lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Just for a moment or two
Come on now if we all pull together We can lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Just for a moment or two
Be glorious you, glorious you, glorious you With your mixed-up metaphors, your messed-up makeup Glorious you With your tongue-tied tragedy, your too-small t-shirt Glorious you
So don't you worry all things must end There are sunlit uplands around the river bend
Come on now if we all pull together We can lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Just for a moment or two
Come on now if we all pull together We can lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Just for a moment or two and be glorious you Glorious you, glorious you
You were glorious you You were glorious you You were glorious you
