[Verse 1]
I could never find the right way to tell you
Have you noticed I've been gone?
Cause I've left behind the home that you made me
But I will carry it along

[Chorus]
And it's a long way forward, so trust in me
I'll give them shelter like you've done for me
And I know I'm not alone
You'll be watching over us until you're gone

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
When I'm older, I'll be silent beside you
I know words won't be enough
And they won't need to know our names or our faces
But they will carry on for us

[Chorus]
And it's a long way forward, so trust in me
I'll give them shelter like you've done for me
And I know I'm not alone
You'll be watching over us until you're gone
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
I could never find the right way to tell you
Have you noticed I've been gone?
Cause I've left behind the home that you made me
But I will carry it along
