I Carry

If you had to know me, then you must

know why I carry your burdens right

across the sky.

If you said that you need me, then you must

know why I carry your strength to the end

of all time.

I carry the souls of thousands unknown.

I carry the beauty of riches untold.

I carry the life of someone who fights

for me.

I carry the love of my brothers and sisters

for all across to see.

I carry the man who is down on his luck.

I carry the names of my sisters who

refused to give up.

I carry the dreams of children across

the land.

I carry who would cry for the little boy,

the boy inside the man.

I carry the logic that my ancestors

provide for me.

I carry their and your legacies,

for I owe it all to thee.
