This is a message and a calling

So, get up and gather around, everyone.

I’m withering. Dying. Trembling from trying. Barely crawling.

What can be done? 

What will be done?



NOBODY TOLD ME

NOBODY TOLD ME

NOBODY TOLD ME

HOW HEAVY THIS LIFE WAS GONNA BE



Here stands a silver lined believer. Not believing.

A rosy-eyed dreamer awakening

Into a moment when hands are not given to the needing

What will become

Of this needing one?



NOBODY TOLD ME

NOBODY TOLD ME

NOBODY TOLD ME

HOW HEAVY THIS LIFE WAS GONNA BE



If I can just hold on

Until the morning dawns

And nothing remains but a better day

And my song…

Will sing of the weighed down times now behind me.

And I’ll be moving.

And I’ll be grooving.



NOBODY TOLD ME

NOBODY TOLD ME

NOBODY TOLD ME

HOW HEAVY THIS LIFE WOULD BE

HOW HEAVY THIS LIFE WOULD BE



But I keep pushing on



Everyday’s getting heavier and heavier

Heavier and heavier

Everyday’s getting heavier and heavier

Heavier and heavier
