"Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight" is a classic song sung by Jennifer Hudson (as Young Nana Noodleman) and is found on the Sing: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

In Sing, it is heard three times throughout the film:

  • During Epiphany, the performance which sparked Buster Moon's interest in theater in the opening of the film.
  • After the destruction of the Moon Theater and most of the main performers going through their respective strifes.
  • The reconstruction and grand re-opening of Moon Theater during the ending of the film.

Lyrics

Once there was a way,
to get back homeward,
Once there was a way,
to get back home
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry,
and I will sing a lullaby

Golden slumbers fill your eyes,
smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry,
and I will sing a lullaby

Once there was a way,
to get back homeward,
Once there was a way,
to get back home
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry,
and I will sing a lullaby

Boy you're gonna carry that weight,
carry that weight for a long time
Boy you're gonna carry that weight,
carry that weight for a long time

I never give you my pillow,
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations,
I break down

Boy you're gonna carry that weight,
carry that weight for a long time
Boy you're gonna carry that weight,
carry that weight for a long time

Oh yeah, all right,
are you gonna be in my dreams tonight?

Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
