Carry Me Lyrics

“Carry Me” was the first song to be written for this album. Psalm 55:6 & 23 are the entire inspiration for this song: “Oh, that I had wings like a dove, I would fly away and be at rest...But as for me, I will trust in you.”

This song is a personal Psalm, one that explores the questions and the doubts in rawness and honesty. Through it all, I know I’m carried and embraced by the one who made me.

VERSE 1

All these questions I can't get out of my mind

All the words I was clinging to left me behind

PRE CHORUS

Now, here I stand in the dark, in the shadows

Closing my eyes, breathing in, all I know…is

CHORUS

I, I wanna fly away

Oh I, I wanna fly away

Won't you carry me higher

Bring me from deeper yet still

I, I want to fly away

VERSE 2

Sinking deep in the rivalry of heart and mind

Buried deep in a hole that my heart can’t climb

PRE CHORUS

Secrets of silence burn in my soul

Closing my eyes, breathing in, all I know…is

CHORUS

I, I wanna fly away

Oh I, I wanna fly away

Won't you carry me higher

Bring me from deeper yet still

I, I want to fly away

BRIDGE

As I lift my head, would you lift my heart?

As I call your name you are never far

As I lift my head, would you lift my heart?

As I call your name you are never far

As I lift my head, would you lift my heart?

As I call your name you are never far

CHORUS

I, I wanna fly away

Oh I, I wanna fly away

Won't you carry me higher

Bring me from deeper yet still

I, I want to fly away
