Weight Of The World Lyrics


It's like, chasing shadows
I never seem to win
Just when I'm over you
I feel myself falling again
No hope of grace,
I'm loosing faith
All I can do is pray...Can you hear me
Can you hear me ohh...
Can you hear meChorus:
'cause it feels like the weight of the world
Have the angels turned their back on me
It feels like the weight of the world
Can't let go of what we use to be
And though my cries have gone unheard and I'm left on my knees
It feels like the weight of the world
'cause I still remember how it felt
When you loved me... when you loved me oh...Verse:
I got no rule to follow

Left with no eyes to see
No love to borrow,
Since you left I can barely breathe
In my lonely place and it can't be traced
All I can do is pray...Can you hear me
Can you hear me ohh
Can you hear meChorus:
It feels like the weight of the world
Have the angels turned their back on me
It feels like the weight of the world
Can't let go of what we use to be
And though my cries have gone unheard and I'm left on my knees
It feels like the weight of the world
'cause I still remember how it felt
When you loved me...
When you loved me...Bridge:
Love me again or set me free
Love me again
Love me again or set me freeChorus:
It feels like the weight of the world
Have the angels turned their back on me
It feels like the weight of the world
Can't let go of what we use to be
And though my cries have gone unheard and I'm left on my knees
It feels like the weight of the world
'cause I still remember how it felt
When you loved me...
You loved me oh...
Say you love me, again...
When you love me...

Lemar Obika (born 4 April 1978), professionally known as Lemar, is a British Soul and R&B Singer, Songwriter and Vocal Producer who has had a run of chart success in the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.

Biography:
Lemar was born in London to Nigerian (Igbo) parents, and was raised in Tottenham, London, listening to Soul Music and R&B. He used to sing at home with his brothers and sister, pretending to be The Jacksons. He was seventeen when he had his first concert at the Junior Jam at the Temple in Tottenham supporting Usher. He gave up an opportunity to study pharmacy at the Cardiff University to pursue a musical career. Lemar had some success supporting various artists such as Destiny's Child, Total, Uncle Sam and Usher Raymond on their UK club tours and after some years, managed to secure a recording contract with BMG. Following this, he released his debut single "Got Me Saying Ooh" in 2001. Unfortunately his record deal with BMG fell through in less than a year due to restructuring at the record label. He had to eventually take a job working as an accounts manager at NatWest in Enfield, north London.

On Saturday 19th January 2008, MSN UK reported that Lemar became a father for the first time with his long term partner Charmaine Powell, who gave birth to a baby girl called Nyiema Obika at London's private Portland hospital weighing 7 lb.

Recording Career:
Lemar's second single "Dance (With U)" reached number two on the UK Singles Chart in early 2003. His first album Dedicated was released late in 2003 with additional singles "50/50" and "Another Day" also achieving chart success in the UK. Lemar won a BRIT Award for "Best Urban Act" in 2004. Following the success of the album, he commenced his first headlining tour of the UK.

On the 12th of November 2004 Lemar guested on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge and performed a cover of U2's song "Vertigo". He has also performed for Prince Charles' Prince's Trust.

He is also one of the many artists included on Band Aid 20's single "Do They Know It's Christmas?".

In February 2006, he won a second BRIT Award for "Best Urban Act".

4 September 2006 saw Lemar return with his eighth single, entitled "It's Not That Easy", which became his sixth UK top ten hit. A week later his new album The Truth About Love was released, which saw guest appearances from Styles P from The L.O.X., Mica Paris and Joss Stone. The album became Lemar's highest charting album to date, peaking at number three on the UK Albums Chart.

Lemar's 4th studio album "The Reason" is set for release on November 24th 2008. While the first single of the album will be called "If She Knew" released on 10th November 2008. Also the video has been released too.

Lemar performed his new single “The Way Love Goes” on the BBC1 show “So You Think You Can Dance” on Saturday 9th January. The single was released on Valentine’s Day. "The Way Love Goes" first entered the UK Singles Chart on 21, February 2010. The single has so far managed to peak at #8, his first Top 10 single since "It's Not That Easy" in 2006. It became Lemar's seventh Top 10 single and made the Top 10 without making the BBC Radio 1 or BBC Radio 2 playlists.
