“I Carry You” Lyrics

“I Carry You” Plastic Chair Single (2003)

I feel the whole world moving through me
Entire populations stirring within me
I feel their lives, their deaths, filling me
I want to embrace them with my body
To mother and encase, to heal with my flesh
I am the embodiment of goodness
I shall touch the ill and make them whole
I am expanding out of all proportion
Rivers course through me, tears and blood
And emotions more dense than earth
I am inescapably pulled by the mighty tide
And pull again in turn with my gravitational field

— I carry you —

I feel the whole world moving through me
Entire populations stirring within me
I feel their lives, their deaths, filling me
I want to embrace them with my body
To mother and encase, to heal with my flesh
I am the embodiment of goodness
I shall touch the ill and make them whole
I am expanding out of all proportion
Rivers course through me, tears and blood
And emotions more dense than earth
I am inescapably pulled by the mighty tide
And pull again in turn with my gravitational field
I am burning with scorching heat at my core
Giving birth with my voice
