Who's Gonna Carry You

In the emptiness of evening
when you're lying all alone,
the world gets so quiet...
sometimes the silence is too much to hold.
When the memories take you deeper
then your courage wants to go.
Without the lifeline
these troubled waters...
you'll sink like a stone.
Tell me who's gonna carry you
cross the river of sorrow?
Who's gonna carry you
over the mountains of doubt?
When you stumble and fall
from the weight of it all,
who's gonna carry you...?
This is a city without mercy
in a world that's gone insane.
We are the faces of so many people
all one and the same.
We are the weary and the restless.
We are the powerful and meek.
This is a journey miles cannot measure,
and it's narrow and it's steep.
Tell me who's gonna carry you
cross the river of sorrow?
Who's gonna carry you
over the mountains of doubt?
When you stumble and fall
from the weight of it all,
who's gonna carry you?
I wanna know, who's gonna carry you?
I may not know the future,
but I know who holds tomorrow- yes, I do!
I know you're tired of walking through this life alone,
so if you reach out your hand
won't somebody understand?
Who's gonna... who's gonna carry you?
Who's gonna carry you?
I wanna know, I wanna know...
...cross that river of sorrow, past valley of pain,
and these troubled waters, through fire and rain,
the roads that seem endless on the mountains too high
through cold nights of winter when you ask yourself why
cross that river of sorrow, past valley of pain,
