I'm sitting in a carrier
On your back
We're on the way for hours
Never losing track
You take us up the mountainside
On strong feet
They've seen the trials of this land
Must have been late summer 16
I remember being stuck in the wall
Your advice that didn't let me fall
When I was suddenly lost
You led the rest to the top then
Like you always did like you always did
Own tracks for the first time
We were so close to the deep
Could have ended in tragedy
But that's how it is when you're moving in pathless terrain you said
Oh father won't you carry me on
It feels I still can't walk alone
Oh father can't you carry me on
Cause I don't know how to get along
Oh father won't you carry me on
It feels I still can't walk alone
Oh father can't you carry me on
Cause I don't know how to get along without you
Don't know how to get along without you
And you've got this sadness
You know I can feel it too
My strain to the dark side
I got it from you
And I'm so afraid
Cause I know I'll be losing you
And there is nothing that I can do about it
You said
Sorrow is a part of it all
And the tears are solving
There's no one I know
As gently as you
Oh mother won't you carry me on
And catch me when it all goes wrong
Oh mother can't you carry me on
With all your love I'll pass it on
Oh mother won't you carry me on
And catch me when it all goes wrong
Oh mother can't you carry me on
Cause I don't know how to get along without you
Don't know how to get along without you
Don't know how to get along without you
Don't know how to get along without you
Don't know how to get along without you
Oh father won't you carry me on
It feels I still can't walk alone
Oh father won't you carry me on
Cause I don't know how to get along
Oh mother won't you carry me on
And catch me when it all goes wrong
Oh mother won't you carry me on
With all your love I'll pass it on
