carry on without me

be the first to reach out
in thanking, forgiving, loving, learning, helping, mending

the first so many times
i don't want to reach

arm is tired, injured, strained, weak, frail

would you know my name
if i saw you in heaven?
would it be the same
if i saw you in heaven?

i must be strong
and carry on,
'cause i know i don't belong
here in heaven.

would you hold my hand
if i saw you in heaven?
would you help me stand
if i saw you in heaven?

i'll find my way
through night and day
'cause i know i just can't stay
here in heaven

time can bring you down
time can bend your knees
time can break your heart
have you begging please, begging please

beyond the door
there's peace i'm sure,
and i know there'll be no more
tears in heaven.

would you know my name
if i saw you in heaven?
would it be the same
if i saw you in heaven?

i must be strong
and carry on
'cause i know i don't belong
here in heaven

a simple yes
can make all the difference in the world
