Can’t Live With the World Lyrics by Laura Mvula

Sing To The Moon

2013

[Verse]
You can't live with the world on your shoulders
Your shoulders
Take my hand and you'll see love will find us
Will find us
You've been lost in a dark place a long time
A long time
Now I found you, I'll stay here and hold you

[Chorus]
I'll stay
I'll hold you 'til morning
I'll hold you tight

[Verse]
You can't live with the world on your shoulders
Your shoulders
Come to me, say goodbye to your struggles

[Chorus]
I'll stay
I'll hold you 'til morning
I'll hold you
I'll stay (Stay 'til the morning come, stay 'til the morning come)
I'll hold you 'til morning (Hold you to the morning light, hold you to the morning light)
I'll hold you tight

[Bridge]
Remember how far you've come
From the start 'til the end
Depend on me
You can't live with the world on your shoulders

[Chorus]
I'll stay
I'll hold you 'til morning
I'll hold you
I'll stay (Stay 'til the morning come, stay 'til the morning come)
I'll hold you 'til morning (Hold you to the morning light, hold you to the morning light)
I'll hold you tight

[Outro]
You can't live with the world on your shoulders
You can't live with the world on your shoulders
Stay 'til the morning come
Stay 'til the morning come
Hold you to the morning light
Hold you to the morning light
