Carry Me
© 1998 Sterling Brown
Slowly morning comes
I shake off the sediment, hit the ground
I desire to run
But this suit I’m wearing just seems to
Slow me down
I might have lost hope
When I opened my eyes to the world around
Then I remember how
(chorus)
You carry me
Through all I’ve been through
And where I’m going, too
You carry me, yes you do
Suddenly I fell
Like a leaf from a tree, my own personal Autumn
Thinking I stood alone
And my wisdom a well much deep enough
To draw from
That’s when I found
That my soul is what’s dragging me down
Always forgetting how
(chorus)
All the nights I have hungered
I have never begged for bread
All the places I’ve wandered
I can look back and see how you’ve led
How you’ve led
How…
