Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross
of someone else's fault
a few summers have gone by
still your leaves are green and tender
your imagination is grander
than the stars in the clear blue sky
a few pages written in your book
a great story yet to be told
the future there for you to unfold
is waiting waiting in the deep cold
Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross
of someone else's fault
you're a goodbye never said
you're a ticket with no return
you're the sweet words never heard
you're tears never shed
Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross
of someone else's fault
one day you'll grow into a rose
become the flower that life bestows
your pain your fears like a river
will feed your garden you'll never wither
Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross
of someone else's fault
Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross
it's not your fault
Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross
of someone else's fault
Baby you can't carry the weight, carry the cross
it's not your fault
