Carry the Light | Letters from the Sun | Track 11-15 | 1965

[Verse 1] Been walking through the hours slow, The static fades, the colors show. You said, “The dark won’t last this time.” And I believed it — line by line. [Chorus] Carry the light, don’t let it go, even when the shadows grow. Every night turns into day — carry the light, and find your way. (Tambourine and a brighter snare come in on the second line — small lift.) [Verse 2] Old reflections, painted thin, The world starts turning new again. Every song still hums your tune, Rising just like morning soon. [Chorus – Harmonized, Fuller] Carry the light, don’t let it go, even when the shadows grow. Every dream still finds its way — carry the light, the brighter day. [Bridge – “The Kick” Moment] (Bass walks, drums punch, quick stop-and-start hits.) “Oh, we break, we bend, but the circle won’t end — the light just moves through another friend.” (Organ swell, handclap, quick flourish of guitar, back to chorus.) [Final Chorus + Outro] Carry the light, don’t fade away, I’ll meet you at the edge of day. Every heart that finds its way — carries the light we made. (Ends on tight snare + major chord, quick reverb burst — fade on organ drone.)
