I carried you,
When you were young,
And the world was fresh and new,
And you made me feel like a king.
I carried you,
When you were sad,
And the world was a frightening place,
And you made me feel brave.
I carried you,
When you were lost,
And the world was a bewildering place,
And you made me feel like a safe harbour in the storm.
I carried you,
When you were hurt,
And the world was full of pain,
And you made me feel powerful.
I carried you,
When you were confused,
And the world didn’t make any sense,
And you made me feel like a beacon of hope.
But I can’t carry you anymore,
Because time has lain her heavy hand on me,
And the world has become dark and dim,
So will you carry me?
