We can never go home, son
We no longer have one
I'll help you carry the load, son
I'll carry you in my armsWe 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 roadHelp me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
This road can't go on foreverIf I say shut your eyes, son
If I say look away
Bury your face in my shoulder
Think of a birthdayThe things you put in your head
They won't stay there forever
I'm trying hard to hide your soul, son
From things it's not meant to seeHelp me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
This road can't go on foreverHelp me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Now help me to carry the fire
This road won't go on foreverNo sound but the wind
No sound but the windIf I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyesHelp me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me carry the fire
This road won't go on forever
