Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We can never go home

We no longer have one

I'll help you carry the load

I'll carry you in my arms

[Verse 2]

We walk through the ash

And the charred remains of our country

Keep an eye on my back

I'll keep an eye on the road

[Verse 3]

Help me to carry the fire

To keep it alight together

Help me carry the fire

This road won't go on forever

[Verse 4]

If I say, shut your eyes

If I say, look away

Bury your face in my shoulder

Think of a birthday

[Verse 5]

The things you put in your head

They will stay within forever

I'm trying hard to hide your soul, son

From things it's not meant to see

[Verse 6]

Help me carry the fire

To keep it alight together

Help me carry the fire

This road won't go on forever

[Verse 7]

Help me to carry the fire

To keep it alight together

Help me to carry the fire

This road won't go on forever

[Verse 8]

If I say, shut your eyes

If I say, shut your eyes

Bury me in surprise

When I say, shut your eyes

Eyes, oh

[Verse 9]

Help me carry the fire

Help me carry the fire

[Verse 10]

Help me to carry the fire

To keep it alight together

Help me to carry the fire

This road won't go on forever
