[Verse 1] I can see you hurting beneath your new red dress Beneath your new tattoos and your sharp new shoes you are directionless And I know you've been working as hard as you can To pre-empt the question, the expectation And I understand
[Chorus] So come on now, if we all pulled together We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Just for a moment or two
[Verse 2] From the moment the phone alarm breaks the morning in two To the moment you close your bedroom door and all that's left is you There were a thousand auditions you didn't quite get through So many masks to wear, so much weight to bear But you were only ever you You were glorious you, you were glorious
[Chorus] So come on now, if we all pulled together We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Just for a moment or two Come on now, if we all pulled together We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Just for a moment or two
[Bridge] Be glorious you, glorious you, glorious you With your mixed-up metaphors, your messed-up makeup You're glorious you With your tongue-tied tragedy, and too-small t-shirt Glorious you
So don't you worry, all things must end There are sunlit uplands around the river bend
[Chorus] Come on now, if we all pulled together We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Just for a moment or two Come on now, if we all pulled together We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders Just for a moment or two and be glorious you Glorious you, glorious you
[Outro] You were glorious you You were glorious you You were glorious you
