There's an albatross around your neck
All the things you've said and the things you've done
Can you carry it with no regrets?
Can you stand the person you've become?
Oh, there's a light
Oh, oh, oh, there's a light
Your albatross, let it go, let it go
Your albatross, shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can't shake the heavy weight of living
Stepping forward out into the day
Shrugging off the dust and memory
Though it's soaring still above your head
It is out of sight and none shall see
Your albatross, let it go, let it go
Your albatross, shoot it down, shoot it down
When you just can't shake the heavy weight of living
When you just can't seem to shake the weight of living
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes
The weight of living
The weight of living
The weight of living
The weight of living
