I Will Carry You Julie Matthews
When I became the orphaned one
My whole world tilted from the sun
Not that anyone could see
The change was only known to me
And when I walk now
There are no familiar footsteps in the sand
Left there beside me
And when I reach out
I find myself without that gentle hand
To hold and to guide me
Before I was the orphaned one
I knew my purpose as someone
They taught me true love never fades
What you give out comes back in spades
But when there’s no heart to pour it all into
When this well of tears runs dry
Do I let go, let it slip through my fingers?
Let it fly, let it die
No I, I will carry you, Oh I, I will carry you
Oh I, I will carry you, and carry on
Then I won’t be the orphaned one
We’re all orphans in the end
this certainty you can’t amend
But immortality is found
In the love that’s handed down
And we can take it and pass it on to others
The circle goes on and on
And this love from our fathers and our
mothers carries on, carries on
For I, I will carry you....
