It's a thin line that leads us and keeps us all from shame
Dark clouds quickly gather along the way we came
There's fear out on the mountain and death out on the plain
There's heartbreak and heartache in the shadow of the flame

This love will carry
This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me

The strongest web will tangle, the sweetest bloom will fall
And somewhere in the distance we try and catch it all
Success lasts for a moment and failure's always near
You look down at your blistered hands as turns another year

This love will carry
This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
This love will carry
This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me

So these days are golden, they must not waste away
Time is like that flower and soon it will decay
And though by storms we're weakened, and uncertainty is sure
Like the coming of the dawn it's ours for evermore

This love will carry
This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
This love will carry
This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
This love will carry
This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
