World Falls Lyrics by Indigo Girls

World Falls Lyrics

    I'm coming home with a stone
    Strapped onto my back
    I'm coming home with a burning hope
    Turning all my blues to black
    I'm looking for a sacred hand
    To carve into my stone
    A ghost of comfort
    Angels breath
    To keep this life inside my chest

    This world falls on me
    Hopes of immortality
    Everywhere i turn
    All the beauty just keeps shaking me

    Now i woke up in the middle of a dream
    Scared the world was too much for me
    Sejarez said, "don't let go
    Just plant the seeds and watch them grow"
    I've slept in rainy canyon lands
    Cold drenched to my skin
    I always wake to find a face
    To calm these troubled lands

    Ah this world falls on me
    With dreams of immortality
    Everywhere i turn
    All the beauty just keeps shaking me

    Now i'm running
    To the end of the earth
    And i'm swimming
    To the edge of the sea
    And i'm laughing
    I'm under a starry sky
    This world was meant for me
    Don't bury me
    Carry me

    I wish i was a nomad
    An indian or a saint
    The edge of death would disappear
    Leave me nothing left to taint
    I wish i was a nomad
    An indian or a saint
    Give me walking shoes
    Feathered arms
    And a key to heaven's gate

    Ah this world falls on me
    Dreams of immortality
    Everywhere i turn
    All the beauty just keeps shaking me

    I'm running
    (this world falls on me)
    To the end of the earth
    (with hopes of immortality)
    I'm swimming
    (everywhere i turn)
    To the edge of the sea
    (the beauty keeps on shaking me)
    And i'm laughing
    (this world falls on me)
    Cause i'm under a starry sky
    (hopes of immortality)
    This world was meant for me
    (everywhere i turn)
    I've got hopes of immortality
