Hold up the world.
Keep it from falling at your feet.
Hold up the world,
While your oppressors have a front row seat.
Hold up the world Atlas.
Heavier and heavier it grows.
Hold up the world,
And dodge the stones they throw.
Hold up the world,
But don't you dare cry.
Hold up the world,
With your head held high.
Hold up the world,
Until you can't anymore.
