We can never go home, son
We no longer have one
I'll help you carry the load, son
I'll carry you on my back
We walk through the ash,
And the charred remains of our country
Keep an eye on my back, son
I'll keep an eye on the road

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
This road cant go on forever

If I say shut your eyes, son
If I say look away
Bury your head in my shoulder
Think of a birthday
The things you put in your head
They wont stay there forever
I'm trying hard to hide your soul, son
From things it's not meant to see

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
This road cant go on forever

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Now help me to carry the fire
This road wont go on forever

No sound but the wind
No sound but the wind



If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me carry the fire
This road wont go on forever.
