Carry the Weight Lyrics

A mother she packs

No time for her hat

Signs she can't ignore

Small hand tight in tow

The sirens hum low

Near bombs rumble and soar

No bags on her back

Just memories packed

She'll carry the weight on her wings

She'll leave her home

To a land of unknown

For freedom is all she will bring

The old man has survived

The darkest of times

When dignity couldn't be bought

Rain brings him tears

An abundance of fears

Once again, just left to be shot

No bags on his back

Just memories packed

He'll carry the weight of the sting

He'll leave his home

Twice journeyed, unknown

For freedom is what he will dream

A young man must report

To his station up north

Where he will protect and defend

His country attacked

Will his family come back

To bury what's left in the end

Guns on his back

The memories he's packed

He'll carry the weight like a king

Losing his home

In war dying alone

While the world just watches and screams

But like times in past

Hate always comes back

But falls in spite of its weight

Lives will be lost

In vain, senseless costs

But hope will carry the weight
