I can see you are hurting
beneath your new red dress

Beneath your sharp new shoes and your new tattoos
you are directionless

And I know you've been working
as hard as you can
to prevent the question, the expectation
and I understand

So come on now, if we all pull together
we can lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
just for a minute or two

From the moment your phone alarm
cuts the morning in two
To the moment you close your bedroom door
and all that's left of it is you

There were a thousand auditions
you didn't quite get through

So many masks you wear so much weight to bear
but you were only ever you

You were glorious you
You were glorious

So come on now, if we all pull together
we can lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
just for a minute or two. (x2)

You can be glorious you, (x3)

With your messed up makeup
your mixed up memphis
glorious you

With your tongue tied tragedies and your too small t-shirt
glorious you

So don't you worry
all things must end

There are sunlit-up lands around the riverbend

So come on now, if we all pull together
we can lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders
just for a minute or two. (x2)

And be glorious you

You were glorious you
