NEEDTOBREATHE, Jon Foreman - Carry Me lyrics

I chased you into the light
Yeah I stayed there to see myself pure
All the ashes and scars they fail
They pale in comparison to yours

There were footprints the size
Of the universe
There were fortunes that no one could earn
So I chased you farther still
And I hope that I never return

From the river's mouth to the mountain peak
Through the great divide and the valley deep
I need you to carry me

Carry me carry me, I'm on my way
But, I'm in too deep i need you to carry me

You were calling me, into the deep
Into waters that no map could find
You were calling me out beyond my fears
Where my darkness finds rest in your light

I found a fortress where I could surrender
Where my shame didn't hide what I lacked
And so I chased you out farther still
Cause, I know that I ain't never coming back

From the river's mouth to the mountain peak
From the great divide and the oceans deep
I need you to carry me

Carry me carry me, I'm on my way
But, I'm in too deep i need you to carry me

I found a place where the past was forgiven
Where my mistakes met a grace I couldn't earn
And so I piled up my excuses
And defenses in the night
Then I lit a match
Stepped back and watched them burn

From the river's mouth to the mountain peak
Through the great divide where
The waters meet i need you to carry me

Carry me carry me, I'm on my way
But, I'm in too deep i need you to carry me
I need you to carry me

From the day I was born to
The end of these seas i need you to carry me
