Lyrics
When the road feels rough beneath you and the sky is turning grey,
When the weight upon your shoulders steals the colour from your day,
I will walk the path beside you, through the wind and through the rain,
For no friend should face the darkness on their own with all that pain.
If your heart is feeling heavy and your hope begins to fall,
If the world grows cold and distant and you barely stand at all,
I will lift you when you stumble, I will steady trembling hands,
For the ties of love and kindness are the strongest in the land.
(Chorus)
I'll carry you home when the night feels far too long,
I'll share every burden till your spirit grows strong.
We're never alone on this winding old road --
Lean on me, brother, and I'll carry you home.
When the silence feels unending and your tears refuse to dry,
When you're searching for a reason and can't find the strength to try,
I'll be there to share the sorrow, I'll be there to share the load,
For the gentle hands of friendship light the darkest, hardest road.
(Bridge)
And someday when I falter, when my courage starts to fade,
I'll trust your steady footsteps just the same as mine were made.
For the love we give each other is the truth that keeps us whole --
A reminder we are lifted by the caring of a soul.
(Chorus)
I'll carry you home when the night feels far too long,
I'll share every burden till your spirit grows strong.
We're never alone on this winding old road --
Lean on me, brother, and I'll carry you home.
So we'll walk this road together, through the sunlight and the rain,
Sharing laughter in the triumphs, sharing comfort in the pain.
For the bond that holds us steady is the truest love we've known --
And I'll carry you forever, till we both are safely home.
