i carry the world i must be a fool i carry the world i think about you i really want to change and bring about me all i do is worry carry all these chains i carried it home home from school when i left the place i carried it to i carried it round like a ball and chain all of these things don't make me feel great i carried it to the budda i didnt let go i carried it overseas i thought it would float i carried it so much i thought i was strong i carried and carried i carried i carried so long i carried it up mountains so i could look down i carried it beneath so i was all around i clung to my carriage my mission to carry i carried and carried i carried so long i carried it over bridges till they burnt down i carried it through the desert i carried it through the clouds i carried it to places no one would go i carried up streams and i walked it down roads
