Daughter Dear

CARRY US HOME
For the river is rising
Underneath my feet
Before it takes away the valued past
Won’t you carry me into sle-ee-ee-eep
For this weary traveler cannot fight this anymore
So please won’t you carry me home
And will you save me from this horror-or-or-or?
Won’t you carry me home? (x2)
Ho-o-ah-ah, Ho-o-o-ome (x3)
Are you joking? Are you joking?
Break my wings and you bury my heart
And leave me bro-o-o-ken, broken
Bro-o-o-ken, Broken!
Because we could have made heaven,
But instead we made hell.
What will become of us now only time will tell.
Won’t you carry me home? (x2)
Ho-o-ah-ah, Ho-o-o-ome (x3)
Don’t you know that it hurts sometimes
To have to let go of what I hoped was mine
But you put me up against an impossible test
And as I admit defeat may I please just have some rest?
Am I the only one feeling this undercurrent of despair?
And in my darkest of nights
I really hope that you are there
Cuz you’ll take it all in the vastness of your sea
And as I let go to float may I find ecstasy
And if I live to see the beginning of a brand new day
May I be the lighthouse
To help and carry us home
Help and carry us ho-o-ome
Ho-o-ah-ah, Ho-o-o-ome (x3)
