too tired to fold my hands
and throw them at your feet
let me stay here for awhile
I don't want to go
there's nowhere else to go away for me

so take the weight of the world
off of me for awhile
be my peace
be my light
be to me the hiding place tonight

you take away everything I have known
everything I can not have
and all that I want
all that I need is waiting here

so take the weight of the world
off of me for awhile
be my peace
be my light
be to me the hiding place tonight

life me up to where the angels fly
lift me high to meet you there again
it's all I need
it's all I need

so take the weight of the world
off of me for awhile
be my peace
be my light
be to me the hiding place tonight
be to me the hiding place tonight
