Rhythm-filled reggae-inspired soulful poetry Words/Muic/Singing/Playing/Arranging/Recording: Tom O'Brien

A man may think he has the worries of the world upon his shoulders - but it may be all small stuff, and we shouldn't sweat the small stuff.

I have the worries of the world To bear upon my shoulders The worries of the world To carry on my way My roof is getting thinner It's almost time for the monsoon I'll have to work 'til well past dinner By the light of the little moon I think one of my chickens is sick, now he will not give me eggs And my she-goat has got something wrong With one of her back legs (Chorus) Something got into my rice bag So there's not enough to eat I'd go pick some fruit, but I haven't got The shoes to clothe my feet That child of ours who did not die Is growing rather tall It's a good thing that we don' have more We couldn't feed them all (Chorus) But, at least I have you to sing to At least I have you to pray with At least I have you to soothe me At least I have you to be with (Chorus) The hair upon my head is grey My eyes are getting dim My hands are growing stiffer There are blotches on my skin If I didn't have the worries of the world Upon my back I might stand erect and look around At all the things I lack Thank God for the Worries of the world I bear upon my shoulders The worries of the world I carry on my way x
