You On My Shoulders

The rain beats down
On the roof of a car
As we discuss the future

I got you on my shoulders

You leave me to fend for myself
I'll be fine

I got you on my shoulders
Weight of the world on my shoulders

You've got yours
I've got mine as well
It's just a release
Is it easy to tell?

I got you on my shoulders
Weight of the world on my shoulders

I'll carry you
If you carry me
I'll carry you through

I store thoughts
Of the roots that I've left
I keep them close
Like a child to the breast

I got you on my shoulders

I watch cartoons
Do I have any choice?
I wouldn't have it any other way

I'll carry you
If you carry me
I'll carry you through islands and counties
If you carry me
I'll carry you through
