Carry Me
When I was a young man, I found an old dream
It was as battered and worn a one, as you have ever seen
I invented some new wings, and I painted a nose
I wished so hard, up in the air, I rose, singing
Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world
Carry me, carry me, carry me
And I once loved a girl, she was younger than me
Her parents kept her locked, up in their lives
And she was crying, she was wishing she could be free
Of course I mostly remember her laughing
Standing there and watching us play
For a while then, the music, would take her away and she'd be singing
Carry me, carry me, carry me, above this world
Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world
Then there was my mother, she was lying in white sheets there
And she was waiting to die
She said if you just reach underneath this bed, and untie these weights
I could surely fly
She's still smiling but she's tired
She'd like to hear that last bell ring
You know if she still could she would, stand up, she would sing
Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world
Carry me, carry me, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, ooh
Me Leve
Quando eu era um jovem, encontrei um sonho antigo
Era tão surrado e desgastado quanto você já viu
Invenei novas asas, e pintei um nariz
Desejei com tanta força, lá no alto, eu subi, cantando
Me leve, me leve, me leve, acima do mundo
Me leve, me leve, me leve
E eu amei uma garota, ela era mais nova que eu
Seus pais a mantinham trancada, em suas vidas
E ela estava chorando, desejando poder ser livre
Claro que eu lembro mais dela rindo
De pé, assistindo a gente brincar
Por um tempo, a música a levava e ela estava cantando
Me leve, me leve, me leve, acima deste mundo
Me leve, me leve, me leve, acima do mundo
Então teve minha mãe, ela estava deitada em lençóis brancos ali
E ela estava esperando para morrer
Ela disse que se você apenas alcançasse debaixo da cama, e desatasse esses pesos
Eu certamente poderia voar
Ela ainda está sorrindo, mas está cansada
Ela gostaria de ouvir aquele último sino tocar
Você sabe, se ela ainda pudesse, ela se levantaria, ela cantaria
Me leve, me leve, me leve, acima do mundo
Me leve, me leve, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, ooh
