On My Tiny Shoulders.
On my tiny shoulders i carry it all
On my tiny shoulders i carry the hopes of many
Even when i'm down i know i have the the prayers of many
Even when i'm down i know a lot of people look up to me
And so 'Go ye into the world,' i'll say unto you
And tell them 'i'm in the making.'
'Go ye into the world,' i say unto you
And tell them 'i'm coming with full force.'
Because it all weighs down deep on me,
And i'm gonna get my dreams fulfilled.
