Carry You On

Written 8 January 1991

Walls are too narrow that bind you inside

The windows are eyes that you run from and hide

And you scream and you rage

Of all that you’ve done wrong

Find the strength and the breath

To help carry you on

Find out just why a man walks on the moon

Capture the sun when it’s close at high noon

And smile in a sunset

Lay tears on a rose

Hear words of a mystic

Drink in all he knows

The bon fires are burning

Children in love

Darkened beach sands

And Heaven above

Try to understand

What elders have said

You can dream all you want

But your dreams are all dead

But your parents have raised you with wrong and with right

And each year you live you’ve tried harder to fight

The smiles come and go while the dreams still remain

Of what you want most and the place where you long

Find the will and the hope

To help carry you on
