We can never go home, son 
We no longer have one 
I'll help you carry the load, son 
I'll carry you on my back 
We walk through the ash, 
And the charred remains of our country 
Keep an eye on my back, son 
I'll keep an eye on the road 

Help me to carry the fire 
We will keep it alight together 
Help me to carry the fire 
This road cant go on forever 

If I say shut your eyes, son 
If I say look away 
Bury your head in my shoulder 
Think of a birthday 
The things you put in your head 
They wont stay there forever 
I'm trying hard to hide your soul, son 
From things it's not meant to see 

Help me to carry the fire 
We will keep it alight together 
Help me to carry the fire 
This road cant go on forever 

Help me to carry the fire 
We will keep it alight together 
Now help me to carry the fire 
This road wont go on forever 

No sound but the wind 
No sound but the wind 

If I say shut your eyes 
If I say shut your eyes 
If I say shut your eyes 
If I say shut your eyes 

Help me to carry the fire 
We will keep it alight together 
Help me carry the fire 
This road wont go on forever
