Lyric

Cold dawn

Far from home

I carry your fire

I carry your fire

Far from home

Still alive

I carry your fire

Through the night

My father was a mountain

Taught me calm through the rain

My mother was a lantern

Taught me guard the flame

Now I’m running through the distance

Through the pressure

Through the cold

But the love they left within me is the only gold I hold

Long nights, rough tides

Salt lines in my lungs

Still hear their voices when the silence weighs a ton

So if you’re staring at the ocean

Trying to read where I’ve gone

I’m still out here moving

Still proving I’m holding on

When the sky gets heavy

When the waves get wild

I can feel that fire

Running through my blood

Oh, I carry your fire through the night

Far from home

But I’m still standing right

Through the wind

Through the waves

Through the fight

I carry your fire

I carry your fire

Oh, your love is the light that I know

In the dark

In the cold

On the road

So don’t you worry if I’m far from sight

I carry your fire through the night

There were nights I nearly folded

Nearly faded into blue

Empty rooms and heavy shadows tried to pull me from the truth

But I’m built from something stronger than the fear inside my chest

From the steady hands and quiet hearts that taught me never bend

So I’m working through the distance

Trying hard to make you proud

Every scar became a lesson

Every fear I faced out loud

Tell my family I remember every word and every light

Everything I am right now is the reason that I fight

If the dawn feels frozen

If I lose my way

I can hear you call me

Pulling me awake

Oh, I carry your fire through the night

Far from home

But I’m still standing right

Through the wind

Through the waves

Through the fight

I carry your fire

I carry your fire

Oh, your love is the light that I know

In the dark, in the cold

On the road

So don’t you worry if I’m far from sight

I carry your fire through the night

Father in my bones

Mother in my soul

Family in the fire

Never letting go

I carry your fire

Hey

Far from home

Hey

Still alive

Still I fight

I carry your fire

All night

Oh, I carry your fire through the night

Far from home

But I’m still standing right

Through the wind

Through the waves

Through the fight

I carry your fire

I carry your fire

Oh, your love is the light that I know

In the dark, in the cold

On the road

So don’t you worry if I’m far from sight

I carry your fire through the night

Far from home

Still standing strong

I carry your fire

Far from home

Still standing strong

I carry your fire
