Papa Carry Me Home

Unchain Your Heart

Oh to paint the finest picture
Learn the key to every door
Go and make a name for myself
I don’t believe it anymore

Papa carry me home
Carry me home tonight
I’m as faint as a whisper
You are stronger than I

Can I work to make you love me
Stealing fire and its glow
Unchain your heart, grant absolution
I can’t seem to free my own

Papa carry me home
Carry me home tonight
I’m as faint as a whisper
You are stronger than I

I shall wait by the River Jordan
Cast my burden on the shore
Ride like a child upon your shoulders
I will drink and thirst no more

Papa carry me home
Carry me home tonight
I’m as faint as a whisper
You are stronger than I
