[chorus – full choir] He carries the sky on his shoulders With feet in the dust and a dream in his eyes Born of the storm and the sunlight together My son walks bold with the old soul’s stride [verse 1 – lead + background chorus hums] He came into the world with a thousand questions Eyes like fire and a mind set free Building worlds out of wires and wonder A boy with a song and a memory key He saw more than the world had given Felt the cracks in the silent walls He spoke through the rhythm of lights and stories And danced through the darkness that dares to call [chorus – call and response] [lead call:] He carries the sky on his shoulders [choir response:] (Oh, walk on, child of mine) [lead:] With the weight of the stars in his mind [choir:] (Still he shines, still he climbs) [lead:] Born from the dust, and he walks like thunder [choir:] (With the light of the sun in his stride) [all:] He carries the sky on his shoulders - and still, he rises high [verse 2 – solo female voice with soft choral backing] He’s been broken and he’s been burning But he always finds a way to mend Carving truth from the tangled silence Turning endings into a song again He’s the keeper of fading voices The guardian of forgotten flame He brings beauty where sorrow lingers And he never forgets a name [bridge – slow and reverent, then building] Oh child of mine, I see you Through every storm you face You carry more than your burden You carry hope, you carry grace [final chorus – full layered choir, uplifted key] He carries the sky on his shoulders With feet in the dust and a fire in his chest My son, my heart, my miracle maker He’s walked through the trials and still stands blessed [all voices rising:] He carries the sky - yes, he carries the sky And still he rises high [end]
