"Atlas" lyrics

Oh, is it true that it's all gonna go?
All the birds, all the trees
Every letter she wrote?
Cause change makes a fool of a comfortable soul
And it sits out to greet me
Each time I get home

Met a girl in the fields
And I cried at the sight
Cause I knew her the second I looked in her eyes
She said please don't you go
All I need is your time
I've been holding the earth
And my shoulders are tired

You can tell me, you can cry
It's hard to feel the world sometimes
You can tell me, you can cry
I'll pour from me
If your well runs dry

Oh, is it true that the forests are gone?
That the men hate the trees
So they turned them to stone?
A child doesn't know
That it's rare to be kind
Now the deepest of sadness
Still looks like a smile

And the girl in the field
Held it all in her eyes
So I said, "give me a turn
You can rest for awhile"
"I can't put this on you
I can't put this on anyone
But maybe your presence
Will make me feel strong enough"

You can tell me, you can cry
It's hard to feel the world sometimes
You can tell me, you can cry
I'll pour from me
If your well runs dry

Will you stand with me?
Will you stand with me?
Will you stand with me?
Will you stand with me?

Oh, is it true it's still worth it to try?
That the souls of two people
Combine at first sight?
Cause I needed you, and you stood here awhile
Now I'll love you forever
For letting me cry
