There's an albatross around your neck All the things you've said and the things you've done Can you carry it with no regrets? Can you stand the person you've become? Oh, there's a light Oh, there's a light You're albatross Let it go, let it go You're albatross Shoot it down, shoot it down When you just can't shake the heavy weight of living Stepping forward out into the day Shrugging off the dust of memory Though it's soaring still above your head It is out of sight and none shall see Oh, there's a light Oh, there's a light You're albatross Let it go, let it go You're albatross Shoot it down, shoot it down When you just can't shake the heavy weight of living When you just can't seem to shake the weight of living It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes You're albatross, let it go, let it go You're albatross, shoot it down, shoot it down When you just can't shake the heavy weight of living When you just can't seem to shake the weight of living The weight of living You're albatross, let it go, let it go You're albatross, shoot it down, shoot it down
