have to give

 And everyone has a

secret of sin

 Then why do I feel

all alone in the end

 My fists are clenched in cold

 My fists unclench to hold

 I carry the fire

 I carry it home

 I'll lead the way lighted

 Together our mistakes

 The sun will shine out

 I'll carry you with me

 And we'll carry on carry on

Verse 2

It's too late let it show

 From the underwear

 under your clothes

 Don't tell your mother

 Don't confess to your

father that you don't know

(Repeat Refrain)
