lyrics

Hold Up the Sky (Pleione’s Plea)

I’m gonna hold up the sky tonight
‘Cause Atlas, you’re tired
For all these centuries I’ve carried
Little worlds in my belly,
And though they’re light
They’re so full of light

Atlas, lay down your burden
Atlas, lay down your care
Atlas, lay down your burden
‘Cause it’s a weight that we’re willing to bear

For this big wide world has grown heavy
It’s bringing you and all us down, down, down
And it’s hard to reconcile these worlds I carry with yours
Who cut the cord?

Atlas, lay down your burden
Atlas, lay down your care
Atlas, lay down your burden
‘Cause it’s a weight that we’re willing to bear

‘Cause you told me my home is the hearth
But the one that I wander is earth
And the babes that I send forth
Need a world that grows their light
So move over Atlas, I’m gonna hold the sky tonight

Atlas, lay down your burden
Atlas, lay down your care
Atlas, lay down your burden
‘Cause it’s a weight that we’re willing to bear
