Hoo, ooh, carry me home
Hoo, ooh, won't you carry me home

(Hoo, hoo, hoo) hey, hm
(Hoo, hoo, hoo) hey, hm, hey

When the soul is heavy
The mood is blue
And life becomes a war
That we can't breakthrough

There is hunger and there is pain
And hope fading in the burning flame
Sweet love won't you penetrate our hearts
Won't you please lift us up
Please lift us up, oh

Teach us compassion when the world around us
Are stretching out the hands in need
Give us the wisdom and the power to heal them
Show us the way to a higher love

Teach us compassion
(Teach us compassion when the world around us)
(Are stretching out their hands in need)
Won't you give us the wisdom

(Give us the wisdom and the power to heal them)
(Show us the way to a higher love)

We've been waiting for so long

(Hoo, hoo, hoo) hoo, ooh, hoo, ooh
(Hoo, hoo, hoo) hoo, ooh, hoo, ooh

In a world of plenty
I wonder how things got to be this way
Will there ever be a change?
Will there ever come a day?

Sittin' there beneath the burning sky
Hopelessly awaiting vain
Was this ever part of the masterplan
To become strangers to our own

Teach us compassion when the world around us
Are stretching out the hands in need
Give us the wisdom and the power to heal them
Show us the way to a higher love

Teach us compassion
(Teach us compassion when the world around us)
(Are stretching out their hands in need)
Won't you give us the wisdom
(Give us the wisdom and the power to heal them)
(Show us the way to a higher love)

We've been waiting for so long

Hoo, ooh, hey, yeah
Hoo, ooh, hmm

Hoo, ooh, carry me home
Hoo, ooh, won't you carry me home
Hoo, ooh, carry me home
Hoo, ooh, won't you carry me home

Carry me home
Carry me home
Carry me home
