With my hands I will build you castles in the sand
And the promise of a land that it will keep you
From the weight of the world

They all ran away on our horses, leaving nothing to be found
They dug our dreams up from the ground
And took our forces from the weight of the world
From the weight of the world

Was life too heavy, will you be free
You may never get older, it no longer hangs over
So let go of the weight of the world, the weight of the world

Can I please have one more dance with you
Goodbye all I've held and loved and knew

With my hands I will build you castles in the sand
And the promise of a land that it will keep you
From the weight of the world, from the weight of the world

From the weight of the world, it's so far away
From the weight of the world, it's so far away
From the weight of the world, weight of the world
