Mvula, Laura - Can't Live With The World Lyrics






You can't live with the world on your shoulders
Your shoulders
Take my hand and you'll see love will find us
Will find us
You've been lost in a dark place a long time
A long time
Now I'll find you, I'll stay here and hold you

I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning
I'll hold you tight

You can't live with the world on your shoulders
Your shoulders
Come to me, say goodbye to your struggles

I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning
I'll hold you tight
I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning
I'll hold you tight

Remember how far you've come
From the start till the end
Depend on me

You can't live with the world on your shoulders

I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning
I'll hold you tight
I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning
I'll hold you tight

You can't live with the world on your shoulders
You can't live with the world on your shoulders

Stay to the morning come
Stay to the morning come
Hold you to the morning light
Hold you to the morning light

  42. P.... C....

    I've been puzzling over how this video was made and I think I finally figured it out... They used sheets of glass and paper cut outs and layered them over each other so that you get the effect of it passing like that.

  43. d.... ....

    This video, combined with this beautifully enchanting song, is one of the most wonderful things I've seen in a long, long time. Absolutely mesmerizing! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with the world!

    Dear Laura, thank you for your music!

  63. M.... M....

    The song sounds beautiful during the winter

  64. H.... P....

    cant wait to see her again in November,music I have always wanted to listen to,but only just found.

  65. E.... K....

    i only just heard this song, and oh my word, her voice is sooooo beautiful <3

    E.... K....

    🍌🍌🍌zzzz

  66. l.... ....

    This is the only song that truly makes my panic attacks go away. thank you Laura

    l.... ....

    I used to have panic attacks. You might want to try Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). For a few bucks or maybe the library anyone can access it through Dr. David Burn's "The Feeling Good Book". It's been 25 years since it helped me, but I still use the skills I learned to this day. I wish everyone knew about CBT. I think the world would be a better place if people learned mental health skills like this, not just academic ones. I hope you feel better!

    l.... ....

    Laura suffers with them as well.. or used to. I do too. You're not alone and together we will get through this darkness:)

  67. Z.... S....

    It makes me really, really happy too see there is not a single bad comment... It gives me hope that the world still craves for good music :)

  68. d.... ....

    beautiful

  69. u.... l....

    I was lucky enough to see her perform last night in Brooklyn at AfroPunk (right after the ever-inspirational Miss Nikki Giovanni took the stage). She did not disappoint! Such a phenomenal performer and her band was sooo on point! At the end of her set we were screaming for an encore and she actually came back and sang an a cappella version of Human Nature. Such a phenomenal performer!

    u.... l....

    Really excited to see her at AfroPunk-Johannesburg, South Africa on the 31st. I've missed her Jazz performances for so long.

  70. T.... M....

    Love you forever Laura.

  71. C.... V....

    and again ! Perfection!

  72. T.... B....

    Thank you Laura

  73. A.... G....

    Stands out from the crowd - Excellence - Truth

  74. S.... B....

    It's nice to see different people admiring this woman's beautiful work of art. It feels nice. One world <3

  75. i.... e....

    i cried, she knows how they treat us

    i.... e....

    icicle en viva :(

    i.... e....

    Me too....

  76. R.... B....

    Love this song & it's singer, guys try Irma -Unconditional same kinda vibes...

  77. S.... V....

    All her clips are visual masterpieces. <3

  78. M.... C....

    I wonder if that's all really paper

  79. H.... P....

    Even in cold light of day this is amazing.Peace!

  80. K.... J....

    This song got me through the toughest time in high school years ago. It's so refreshing to hear it again after so long. Beautiful voice

  81. i.... ....

    sublime

  82. N.... O....

    I completely lost in her voice, and got mind-blown on this music video. Shitttttt

  83. D.... J....

    underrated

  84. B.... R....

    ♬❃♬ LAURA!! ♬❃♬ You did it again!! Amazing!

  85. s.... ....

    i play this song for my baby girl some nights and she sleeps so peacefully

    s.... ....

    Beautiful.

  86. N.... ....

    Beautiful Song....

  87. N.... B....

    Animation is beautiful. After you've seen it a few times, listen to the music by itself. If you turn off your monitor or close your eyes you might see yourself floating over incredible landscapes, like a feather riding gentle winds. Music has no visual limits. BTW, I hear a lot of Satie in this music, especially the Gymnopedies. That, I think, is NICE.

    N.... B....

    oh thats so true......and I hear Satie too now that you mention it......love this

  88. B.... ....

    She sounds like a soulful female sufjan Stevens

    B.... ....

    I don't know about the sound but I like the comparison, they both are unique but share a folksy kinda sound

  89. m.... l....

    it was celestic

  90. D.... D....

    love her xx

  91. R.... G....

    Who felt so relaxed while watching this

  92. L.... C....

    this was the last song I played with my dog listening, before he passed away from cancer. ): rest in peace totoro.

    L.... C....

    Lina Chang Ohhh im sorry, really sorry.

    L.... C....

    Blessings... That's never easy losing a friend.

    L.... C....

    Lina Chang I'm so sorry. My condolences.

    L.... C....

    +Lina Chang I am with you! and bless the talent Laura has that comes from Somewhere Else.

    L.... C....

    That is so sad when he told me that I think I'm going to cry

  93. �.... �....

    This is best video that I have ever seen:)

  94. M.... ....

    This song by my girl reminds me so much of another musical love, Broadcast!

  95. j.... ....

    AMAZING!!! you are a great revelation for me !!!! thank you for ....that...your voice...your universe!!

  96. W.... B....

    Amazing music video! And this music is made of peace. I loved it!

  97. R.... M....

    Now i found what i was looking for ....:-) :-) :-) peace

  98. L.... H....

    Best music is not in America

    L.... H....

    Well that's all very diplomatic - but he used about 7 words to say that American music sucks. It sounds like you're defending his bigotry, God forbid anyone praise 4 minutes of good music without condemning an entire culture. It's not exactly comforting to hear that Americans are fair game for hatred because we're the 'quickest thing you could come up with '.

    L.... H....

    Face it, the guy is wrong, it's not right to criticize an entire country.

    L.... H....

    Neither am losing sleep over what he said. I hope you were this fired up when Trump tarred all Muslims with the same brush! That was an entire relegion of over 1.6 Billion! lol!

    L.... H....

    TheFever77 ok what gives you the impression that a Trump supporter would be watching a Laura Mvula video??

    It kinda proves my point; you have completely simplified American Culture. You honestly thought to yourself "ok, now I'm pulling out the big guns: I'm gonna insult Trump!! Wait 'til I do that. If there's one thing that all Americans do, it's agree with Trump!!"

    Ok man, fine. Believe whatever you want, American music is bad because Trump. I can't argue with that. Good point.

    You have no fucking clue how stressful it is to take sides in American politics. You're only throwing gasoline on the fire when you sit there and criticize us. There are people in this country so fucking wound up we're losing our minds. Is it so hard to just keep your fucking mouth shut for a few months and stop shitting on American Culture?

    L.... H....

    Case in point, you were fired up I see. Take a chill pill man. Do you need a holiday?

  99. A.... B....

    this was so calming, i loved it!
