[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] Old road dust on your boots, my friend Tin cup ringing by the fire’s red bend You said, “One more mile, then the hills turn green” I heard a whole new life in the space between [Pre-Chorus] Hold your breath, let the silence rise One small spark behind your eyes Take my hand when the ground gives way We are not too late, not today [Chorus] Raise it up, let the whole hall know From the low black earth to the mountain snow Hey-oh, carry me, carry me home No one walks this road alone Raise it up, let the hard hearts bend Sing it out for the stranger and friend Hey-oh, higher now, higher we go No one walks this road alone [Verse 2] Red scarf tied to the gatepost there Rain in the valley, clean cold air Your old coat torn at the sleeve and seam Still you wore it like a flag for the dream [Pre-Chorus] Hold your breath, hear the timber shake Every promise is ours to make When the first clear note cuts through the gray We are not too late, not today [Chorus] Raise it up, let the whole hall know From the low black earth to the mountain snow Hey-oh, carry me, carry me home No one walks this road alone Raise it up, let the hard hearts bend Sing it out for the stranger and friend Hey-oh, higher now, higher we go No one walks this road alone [Bridge] Before the dawn breaks over the stone I’ll call your name and you’ll answer my own [Harp Interlude] Yodel-ay, yodel-ay, over the hill Yodel-ay, yodel-ay, steady and still [Final Chorus] Raise it up, let the whole hall know From the low black earth to the mountain snow Hey-oh, carry me, carry me home No one walks this road alone Raise it up, let the hard hearts bend Sing it out for the stranger and friend Hey-oh, higher now, higher we go No one walks this road alone [Outro] Hey-oh, carry me home Hey-oh, carry me home No one walks this road alone
