Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Carry Carry Carry me
[Verse 2]
(Carry) Carry my weight
(Carry) Carry my weight
(Carry me) Carry me
(Carry) Like mama did
[Verse 3]
Divine intervention
Jehovah walked on water Grandma raised us off her pension
Mama working extra
Papa, he no even make the effort
Except for when we walked away and left us
Now, I'm toiling with my head up
I can stand on my own two now
Crutches that I carry, make my leg hurt
I hope my draggin' ain't too loud
My face will tell you that I'm fed up
Try to move but I can not
Dry throat, ashen knees and elbows
Hair gritty, feet blistered from walking these hell roads, just so you know
Just so you know
His wings are growing for me alone
I don't think I'll fight it, I just hope they work
My faith will carry me, this I know
My faith will carry me, this I know
[Verse 4]
(Carry) Carry my weight
(Carry) Carry my weight
(Carry) Carry me
(Carry) Like mama did
(Carry) Carry my weight
(Carry) Carry my weight
(Carry) Carry me
(Carry) Like mama did
[Verse 5]
Carry Carry Carry me
[Verse 6]
It's livin' chasin' a wage slip I'm a man now, innit
Same shit, just the day shift I'm a man now, innit
At least I kept my mind on my vision
For now, I see me how they did it
Either use the downs as my pivot
Or drown with it
And so I turned all my demons to a sound-spitting image
Of my downs spitting image of my fears
Solitude and prayer, it's so quite when I'm here
I tell you, when you're down man
Don't nobody care, watch 'em jump ship
When your finally up in the air
His wings are growing for me, I know
I don't think about it, I just hope they work
My faith will carry me, this I know
My faith will carry me, this I know
[Verse 7]
(Carry) Carry my weight
(Carry) Carry my weight
(Carry) Carry me
Like mama did
(Carry) Carry my weight
(Carry) Carry my weight
(Carry) Carry me
Like mama did
[Verse 8]
(Carry) Carry my weight
(Carry) Carry my weight
(Carry) Carry me
Like mama did
