Carry Me (Live from Bridgestone Arena)

[Verse 1: Bear Rinehart]

I chased you into the light

Yeah, I stayed there to see myself pure

All the ashes, scars, they fail

But they pale in comparison to yours

There were footprints the size of the universe

There were fortunes that no one could earn

So I chased you farther still

And I hope that I never return

[Chorus: Bear Rinehart]

From the river's mouth

To the mountain peak

From the great divide to the valleys deep

I need you to carry me

Carry me, carry me

I'm on my way, but I'm in too deep

I need you to carry me

[Verse 2: Jon Foreman]

You were calling me into the deep

Into waters that no map could find

Yeah, you were calling me out beyond my fears

Where my darkness finds rest in your light

I found a fortress where I could surrender

Where my shame didn't hide what I lacked

And so I chased you out farther still

'Cause I know that I ain't never coming back

[Chorus: Jon Foreman]

Yeah, from the rivers mouth

To the mountain peak

Through the great divide and the oceans deep

I need you to carry me

Carry me, carry me

I'm on my way, but I'm in too deep

I need you to carry me

[Bridge: Bear Rinehart, Jon Foreman]

I found a place where my past was forgiven

Where my mistakes met a grace I couldn't earn

Yeah, so I piled my excuses and defenses in the night

I lit a match, stepped back, and watched 'em burn

[Chorus: Bear Rinehart & Jon Foreman]

Yeah, from the rivers mouth

To the mountain peak

From the great divide where the waters meet

I need you to carry me

Carry me, carry me

I'm on my way, but I'm in too deep

I need you to carry me

I need you to carry me

[Outro: Bear Rinehart & Jon Foreman]

From the day that I was born

To the edge of these seas

I need you to carry me
