Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Verse 1
Blue light from the phone turns the room to grey
Another headline screaming while the truth gets lost
Children on the old road with no shoes to weigh
They learn the shape of thunder before they know the cost
Widow on the corner counts the years like coins
Rain falls over concrete till it floods the drain
Everybody talking but nobody joins
A million open windows locked behind the rain
Pre-Chorus
How we build these towers up so high
And still can't reach the one next door
Tell me where the peace is
When the fear keeps knocking on the door
Chorus
In this troubled world we carry on
We carry on we won't let go
In this troubled world we carry on
Carry the light carry it slow
Verse 2
Paper promises hiding in the fine print lines
Riches climb the fences while the garden begs
Somebody sold the sunlight and bought up the mines
Now the river only carries what the concrete never kept
I see my own reflection in a window full of smoke
I hear my heartbeat louder than the argument outside
We were born with open hands we were never broke
Just forgot the way to soften what we hardened with our pride
Pre-Chorus
How we spin our circles on the wheel
And still feel lost inside the spin
Tell me where the mercy is
When the loudest voice just wants to win
Chorus
In this troubled world we carry on
We carry on we won't let go
In this troubled world we carry on
Carry the light carry it slow
Bridge
I can't still the water or calm the tide
Can't untangle every wire that's been twisted and tied
But I can choose the path I walk each stone
Choose the kind of man I am when I'm alone
One warm hand reaching in the cold
That's the only battle I can hold
Chorus
In this troubled world we carry on
We carry on we won't let go
In this troubled world we carry on
Carry the light carry it slow
(We carry the light)
(Carry it slow)
In this troubled world we carry on
(Carry on)
We carry on we won't let go
Outro
Mm
In this troubled world
Mm-hmm
We carry on
