Glorious You Songtext

von Frank Turner

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. You can be glorious you, 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. And be glorious you.

You were glorious you.
