Carry me up the hill

Above the valley

Breaking all the rules

That our parents once had

For the restrictions

Mean nothing

Against the power of love

Carry me up the hill

When I cried for a year

And no one listened

Except you

And I couldn’t carry myself

Because the weight

Was too strong

But we survived

Carry me up the hill

Where the flowers grow

And you can’t see the smoke

Billowing out of the factory

Killing the air

Day by day

Carry me up the hill

After our first fight

When I said

I hate you

But you were always there

carry me

Carry me up the hill

When my mother died

And words could not express

How sad I was

But the view could

And so could you

Carry me up the hill

When I learned

I had to measure

The rest of my life

On years that you could count

On your fingers

Carry me up the hill

When I am to weak

To carry myself

But you are too

And we will struggle

But make it there

Too see that view

Together

One last time

Carry me up the hill

When you are gone

And I am alone

Looking over the valley

And all I want

Is to be

With you
