We can never go home We no longer have one I'll help you carry the load 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 I'll keep an eye on the road Help me to carry the fire To keep it alight together Help me to carry the fire This road won't go on forever If I say shut your eyes 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 here forever I'm trying hard to hide your soul, son From things it's not meant to see Help me to carry the fire To keep it alight together Help me to carry the fire This road won't go on forever If I say shut your eyes If I say shut your eyes Bury me in suprise When I say shut your eyes Help me to carry the fire To keep it alight together Help me to carry the fire This road won't go on forever
