The Weight of Being Wonderful (alternate version)

[Intro: Vibraphone, distant choir]
Another yes
Another yes
Another yes

[Verse 1]
I collect the little worries
People cannot bear alone
I can feel the slightest change
In every voice I've ever known

I become the reassurance
I become the patient ear
Every time somebody needs me
Something in me volunteers

[Pre-Chorus]
And it feels so good
To be somebody's good

[Chorus: Luminous syncopated melody]
I can carry more, more, more
Till I cannot tell what for
Every smile becomes a reason
To keep giving through exhaustion
And I love them
I do, I do
I just forget that I am human too

[Verse 2]
Every kindness has a rhythm
Every promise adds a beat
Soon a hundred little rhythms
Are competing inside me

[Bridge: Angelic choir turns dissonant]
(You can help them)
(You can save them)
(You can give them)
Everything

[Final Chorus: Overloaded polyrhythm]
I can carry more, more, more
Till I cannot tell what for
And I love them
I do, I do
But I am human too

[Outro: Instruments disappear]
Another yes
Almost no
