How Much Does The World Weigh

(Michael White - Lee T. Miller)
 I sat up thinkin' late last night
 Do they have a way to count the stars?
 There's a lot of scientific minds that claim
 To know what all the answers are.
 Well, if that's the case
 How much does the world weigh
 Somebody's probably worked it out
 You can look up what the experts say,
 But all you gotta do is look around
 You'd be surprised who knows
 Ask that woman tryin' to make the rent
 Pay the bills and feed the kids.
 Six months ago their daddy walked away
 Ask that man whose family stayed around
 He finally put that bottle down
 Now he has to fight that battle every day.
 Hey, how much does the world weigh?
 Human spirit is a funny thing
 Gow far it bends before it breaks
 And to keep the world from caving in
 How much strength does it take?
 Well, don't ask me
 Ask that couple in the waitin' room
 The doctors say it's still too soon
 It's their little girl all they can do is pray.
 Ask that little boy who's gotta choose
 mom or dad either way he'll lose
 They're breakin' up, and he thinks he's to blame
 Hey, how much does the world weigh?
 --- Instrumental ---
 Ask that man hanging on the cross
 His last breath will save the lost
 The answer's in the tears on his face
 Hey, how much does the world weigh?
 How much does the world weigh?
 How much does the world weigh?...
