#NewSongNovember #3 is here.
I know. Today is heavy. I tried to write a happier song for today. I hope it helps.
#newsongnovember
Is a one month challenge to write and share a new song everyday during November. My friend Lily DeTaeye came up with idea and this is her fourth year doing it. It seemed like a great exercise and I’m so excited to share it.
Thanks!
Check out Lily DeTaeye!

lyrics
-Carry the One-
I’ve never really thought myself a smart guy
But I remember mathematics grade 3
Ms. Forderer made damn sure
That we remember to carry the one
Carry the one you can’t live without
Carry the one you’re not sure about
Carry the one who needs help
Carry the ones who help themselves
Carry the one you know is wrong
Even if it takes too long
God knows how many times
We’ve pulled the wool over our eyes
Carry the one you know is right
And back them up in every fight
Carry a stranger
Carry your neighbor
And carry the neighbor three houses down
The one you’re never really sure’s even in town
Yeah, carry them, too
You never know what anyone’s going through
Carry the ones you need around
So they can carry you when you’re down
Carry your whole damn life
As if it were a precious prize
Because it really is
Despite all these politics
Until we can Love freely
There’s so much to carry
