I Carry It With Me

There was a time I walked in sunshine. Everything made sense back then. I had my people all around me. Didn't know how blessed I'd been. But seasons change, and folks get older. Doors close that won't open Again. And I've been walking through this darkness, Trying to find my peace within. They say time heals every wound you bear. But some things you just learn to carry there. I carry it with me Every single day. All the love they gave me Never goes away. Though the tears may fall like rain, And the longing still remains, I carry it with me In everything I Pray. Yeah. I see their faces in the morning, Hear their voices in the wind. All the lessons that they taught me still guiding Me around each bend. And though my hands are empty now, And though I walk this road alone, What they planted deep inside me has become the Man I've grown. They say you've got to let the old things Die. But love like that, it never says Goodbye. I carry it with me Every single day. All the love they gave me Never goes away. Though the tears may fall like rain, And the longing still remains, I carry it with me In everything I pray. So I'll keep walking forward with the strength Inside my soul. They made me who I am today, and that's What makes me whole. I carry it with me, oh, Every single day. All the love they gave me Never goes away. Though the tears may fall like rain, And the longing still remains, I carry it with me In everything I Pray. Yes, I carry it with me. Ooh. I carry it with me. Forever and always. I carry it with me.
