Weigh Out Happiness
Words & Music by Edgar Montes De Oca copyright 1996

I been trying to weigh out happiness lately

I see the man in his motorcar not too far from here

I see the lights as they shine on me

Face in the crowd now

And I said man take me away from here

The sounds of sirens in the air through my body

I hear some people shouting out ‘let me out of here’

I feel the weight of the crowded streets pulling me closer

And I said man take me away from here

Take your life and lead it to the water

Wash those sins away

Don’t think twice don’t miss this isn’t over

Live your life today

Weigh out happiness lately?

A women cries and she looks at me

I can feel her tears

It’s such a tragedy it’s pulling me closer

And I pray Lord take away her fear

Take your life and lead it to the water

Wash those sins away

Don’t think twice don’t miss this isn’t over

Live your life today

We’re feeling inspired but we can’t afford decisions

We got ourselves all caught in a daze

Inside of a minute your life can extinguish

Your alright, come on out, I’ll tell it to you one more time

Chorus................out...............
