Carry Life Like Water

Intro

Mm

Ah-ah-oh

Eh-eh

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Morning comes and I am still here breathing

Count the blessings growing like a garden

Mama said the rain would teach us patience

Now I know the sun was always waiting

My brother calls me from across the water

He says the world is heavy but he's smiling

We laugh the way we did when we were younger

Two hearts beating loud enough for thunder

Pre-Chorus

Oh I have cried and I have climbed

Oh I have lost and found the light

Every scar became a story

Every story made me strong

Chorus

We carry life like water in our hands

Hold it close and let it flow

Everything that breaks us makes us whole

Eh-eh everything makes us whole

We carry life like water in our hands

Pour it out and watch it grow

Everything that breaks us makes us whole

Eh-eh everything makes us whole

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Everything makes us whole

Eh-eh

Everything makes us whole

Verse 2

Papa taught me how to stand in silence

Let the wisdom settle like a river

He said the tallest trees grow slow and steady

Roots run deeper when the wind is heavy

My sister wears her joy like Sunday morning

She forgives the ones who never asked her

I am learning how to do the same thing

Softness is the bravest kind of armor

Pre-Chorus

Oh I have cried and I have climbed

Oh I have lost and found the light

Every scar became a story

Every story made me strong

Chorus

We carry life like water in our hands

Hold it close and let it flow

Everything that breaks us makes us whole

Eh-eh everything makes us whole

We carry life like water in our hands

Pour it out and watch it grow

Everything that breaks us makes us whole

Eh-eh everything makes us whole

Verse 3

Na so life dey go my people

Some days sweet and some days bitter

But we no dey give up never

Keep on moving keep on moving

Na so life dey go my people

Hold your head up higher higher

Every season has a reason

Keep on moving keep on moving

Instrumental Break

Bridge

Oh when the night feels long

I remember where I come from

Oh when the road feels wrong

I remember I am not alone

Final Chorus

We carry life like water in our hands

Hold it close and let it flow

Everything that breaks us makes us whole

Eh-eh everything makes us whole

We carry life like water in our hands

Pour it out and watch it grow

Everything that breaks us makes us whole

Eh-eh everything makes us whole

Outro

Mm

Everything makes us whole

Ah-ah-oh

Everything makes us whole

Eh-eh

Oh-oh
