Carry the Weight

Verse 1

Gray morning, nothing felt wrong

Cup still warm, keys by the door

They walked out into the pale light

Carried plans they had in store

Pre-Chorus

We counted all the ordinary hours

Never thought we'd lose them all

Chorus

For the ones who never came home

We carry the weight

For the voices that echo

Through every quiet day

We hold them in the skyline

We keep them in our song

For the ones who never came home

Post-Chorus

We remember

We remember

Verse 2

Phone still rings with no answer

The chair sits empty at the table

They were laughing just last Friday

Now the room feels so unstable

Pre-Chorus

We count the names like falling rain

And swear we won't let go

Chorus

For the ones who never came home

We carry the weight

For the voices that echo

Through every quiet day

We hold them in the skyline

We keep them in our song

For the ones who never came home

Post-Chorus

We remember

We remember

Bridge

Steel and stone came down that morning

But love can't be erased

Every candle, every greeting

Keeps them in this place

Chorus

For the ones who never came home

We carry the weight

For the voices that echo

Through every quiet day

We hold them in the skyline

We keep them in our song

For the ones who never came home

Outro

We remember

We remember

We remember them
