Intro

Verse 1

Hallelujah!
Well I just woke up from a dream
A
So far away
D
And it's no accident I landed here
Eyes wide open and seein' clear
G G G G C C
I have come a long long way
I am wiser now
My man Atlas told me
I shouldn't try to hold his world up
He said, "Boy you got some muscle
That you have never used
All you got to do is go ahead and wake up"
Chorus

Don't you try to hold my world up
Don't you try to hold my world
Don't you try to hold my world up
Don't you try to hold my world

Verse 2
Aphrodite
Well her suitcase was my burden
For so long
She said, "Boy you got some heart and soul
But that's not what your love is for
Lay your burden down and we'll both be stronger"
Don't you try to hold my world up
Don't you try to hold my world
Don't you try to hold my world up
Don't you try to hold my world
