You Carried Me

Verse 1

Just the other day, I was sitting on my bedroom floor

Going through some photographs from years before

Beach trips and vacations, all the memories made

But there was something in those footprints that just didn't add up that day

Verse 2

'Cause I remembered being lonely, I remembered feeling lost

Back when I was seventeen and counting up the cost

Of every bad decision, every time I fell apart

But looking at those pictures, there were footprints I couldn't disregard

Pre-Chorus

Two sets in the happy times, running side by side

But only one set showing when I barely survived

Chorus

That's when I realized You carried me

When I was too broken, couldn't even see

Those prints in Your hands, those prints in Your feet

Were there the whole time, carrying me

I thought You left me walking all alone

But You were carrying me home

Verse 3

Now I'm looking back at all those desperate nights

When I was convinced that I was losing all my fights

I didn't feel You near me, thought I'd been left behind

But those footprints tell a different story, a different design

Verse 4

I remember calling out with nobody around

Face down in the darkness, breaking down

Thought the silence meant that I was on my own

But You were right beside me, I was never alone

Pre-Chorus

Two sets when I was dancing in the light

But only one set through my darkest night

Chorus

'Cause You carried me

When I was too broken, couldn't even see

Those prints in Your hands, those prints in Your feet

Were there the whole time, carrying me

I thought You left me walking all alone

But You were carrying me home

Bridge

You didn't leave me stranded in the sand

You picked me up with those nail-scarred hands

The proof was always there, I just couldn't understand

You were carrying me when I couldn't stand

Every scar You bore was meant for me

Every wound a promise that You'd never leave

Chorus

Yeah, You carried me

When I was too broken, couldn't even see

Those prints in Your hands, those prints in Your feet

Were there the whole time, carrying me

I thought You left me walking all alone

But You were carrying me home

You were carrying me home

Outro

Now I see and I finally know

In my hardest times, You never let me go

When I see one set of footprints in the sand

I know that's where You carried me again
