Lyrics

[Verse 1] We can never go home, son We no longer have one I'll help you carry the load, son I'll carry you in my arms We walk through the ash And the charred remains of our country Keep an eye on my back, now I'll keep an eye on the road [Verse 2] If I say shut your eyes, boy If I say look away Bury your face in my shoulder Think of a birthday The things you put in your head They will stay there forever I'm trying hard to hide your soul, son From things it's not meant to see [Chorus] Help me to carry the fire We will keep it alight together Help me to carry the fire This road won't go on forever [Bridge] We look out across the land There's no sound but the wind We look out across the land There's no sound but the wind We look out across the land There's no sound but the wind We look out across the land There's no sound but the wind [Chorus] Help me to carry the fire We will keep it alight together Help me to carry the fire This road won't go on forever Help me to carry the fire We will keep it alight together Oh help me to carry the fire This road won't go on forever [Outro] If I say shut your eyes If I say shut your eyes Bury me in surprise When I say shut your eyes, eyes Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
