I Carried You lyrics

I carried you

Through the heat and the chills

Through the din and the dust

In the jungle and the desert

Every day and every night

I carried you

Though it was no burden

For a load you were naught

But instead a constant reminder

That I must do good when possible

I carried you

Yet no words were exchanged

A witness to the carnage

A crusader of hope, for life

Who only wants the noise to end

I carried you

Still you lifted me

In silent hours, in stillness there

On Christmas day I held you close

Protected in my hand

I carried you

Through every land

So small, so colourful, our strength

That in dark hour full of loss

We could recall a reason close

So that I would ne'er forget

The home where we live free

To know my life could be forfeit

Its for my ever present companion

I carried you
