[Intro] You don't have to hide the scars You don't have to stand alone Give me your hand [Verse 1] I see the way you hold your breath Like every step is one step left A thousand words you never say A smile you wear to hide the pain You've been strong for far too long Telling everyone you're holding on But strength was never meant to mean That no one hears you when you scream [Pre-Chorus] If the road is getting heavy If your knees begin to fall You don't have to carry Everything at all [Chorus] Ilmater Let me carry it with you Give me half the weight That you've been walking through Ilmater When the hurt becomes too much There is strength In another person's touch You don't have to bleed alone You don't have to walk this road alone Ilmater Give me some of your pain I'll carry it with you Until you stand again [Verse 2] There are wounds no eyes can see Chains that leave no mark beneath There are prisons made of fear Where no one knows you're disappearing But every hand that breaks a chain Every stranger sheltering the rain Every voice that says "I'm here" Makes the darkness disappear [Pre-Chorus] If your world is getting heavy And there's nowhere left to fall You don't have to carry Everything at all [Chorus] Ilmater Let me carry it with you Give me half the weight That you've been walking through Ilmater When the hurt becomes too much There is strength In another person's touch You don't have to bleed alone You don't have to walk this road alone Ilmater Give me some of your pain I'll carry it with you Until you stand again [Post-Chorus] Hold on Hold on Just another step Hold on Hold on You're still breathing yet Lean on me Until you're strong No one has to hurt alone [Verse 3] Mercy isn't being weak It takes courage to be kind When the world has taught your heart To leave compassion far behind Take the blow meant for the small Stand between the whip and those who fall Not because the pain is good Because no living person should [Pre-Chorus] Every burden shared between us Becomes lighter than before Every time we lift another We become a little more [Chorus] Ilmater Let me carry it with you Give me half the weight That you've been walking through Ilmater When the hurt becomes too much There is strength In another person's touch You don't have to bleed alone You don't have to walk this road alone Ilmater Give me some of your pain I'll carry it with you Until you stand again [Bridge] I cannot promise You won't hurt I cannot promise Life is fair I cannot take Every wound away But I can promise I'll be there When your hands are shaking When you cannot rise When you've cried Until there are no tears left in your eyes Give me your burden I still have two hands You don't need a miracle You just need someone Who understands [Breakdown] Your pain Is not your name Your scars Are not your shame One hand One heart One more step And we start again [Build] Stand for the broken Stand for the small Stand for the ones Who have no strength at all Carry each other Until we see No one is free Until everyone is free [Final Chorus] Ilmater Let me carry it with you Give me half the weight That you've been walking through Ilmater When the night becomes too much There is hope In another person's touch You don't have to bleed alone You don't have to walk this road alone Ilmater Give me some of your pain I'll carry it with you Until you stand again Ilmater When your strength is almost gone Lean on me We'll keep moving on [Outro] You don't have to hide the scars You don't have to stand alone Give me your hand We'll carry it Together.
