I carry you next to me,
I hold you dear.
I carry you next to me,
I hope you know I care.
I carry you on my back,
I wrap you up tight.
I carry you on my back,
I shield you from preying sights.
I carry you next to me,
I pray for wings of hope.
I carry you next to me,
I will my strength to take us home.
I carry you next to me,
The world around us to explore in safety.
