Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somehow I know that
There's a place up above
With no more hurt and struggling
Free of all atrocities and suffering
Because I feel the unconditional love
From one who cares enough for me
To erase all my burdens
And let me be free to
[Verse 2]
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need You now, Lord
Carry me high
Don't let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of You by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray you'll come and carry me home
[Verse 3]
Can we recover?
Will the world ever be
A place of peace and harmony
With no war and with no brutality?
If we loved each other
We would find victory
But in this harsh reality
Sometimes I'm so despondent
That I feel the need to
[Verse 4]
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need You now, Lord
Carry me high
Don't let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of You by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray you'll come and carry me home
[Verse 5]
(He said he'll never forsake you or leave you alone, trust Him)
[Verse 6]
I need you
Right now, right now, Lord
Need You right here by my side
(Keep your) Keep your head up
(To the sky)
With God's love, you'll survive
[Verse 7]
(Fly like a bird)
(Take to the sky)
(I need You now, Lord)
(Carry me high)
(Don't let the world break me tonight)
(I need the strength of You by my side)
(Sometimes this life can be so cold)
(I pray You'll come and carry me home)
[Verse 8]
You'll come and take me home
(Fly like a bird)
(Take to the sky)
(I need You now, Lord)
(Carry me high)
(Don't let the world break me tonight)
(I need the strength of You by my side)
(Sometimes this life can be so cold)
(I pray You'll come and carry me home)
[Verse 9]
Carry me home
(Carry me higher, higher, higher)
(Carry me higher, higher, higher)
(Carry me higher, higher, higher)
(Carry me higher, higher, higher)
(Carry me higher, higher, higher)
(Carry me higher, higher, higher)
(Carry me home)
(Carry me higher, Lord)
