Lyrics
I know you're tired, I see it in your eyes
The speaker acknowledges the tiredness evident in the listener's eyes.
All that anxiety that rules your mind
Addressing the anxiety that dominates the listener's thoughts.
I'll be your shield when you don't feel like
Promise to support and protect the listener when they feel unable to.
You've got strength enough to fight
Recognizing the listener's inner strength despite their doubts.
I'll stand by your side
Commitment to stand beside the listener throughout their challenges.
CHORUS
I will carry you
Promise to carry the listener through their toughest times.
Through your darkest night
Specifically addressing supporting the listener during their darkest moments.
When you're terrified
Being there for the listener when they feel overwhelming fear.
I will carry you
Reiterating the commitment to carry the listener.
When the waters rise
Promising support when the listener faces overwhelming challenges (represented as rising waters).
When your hope runs dry
Offering assistance when the listener's hope diminishes.
I will carry you

You are not the sum of your mistakes
Acknowledging that the listener is more than their mistakes.
You don't have to hide the parts of you that ache
Encouraging the listener to be open about their vulnerabilities without hiding them.
I choose you as you are a million times
Expressing unconditional acceptance of the listener, emphasizing choosing them repeatedly.
Cause I am not ashamed of you
Declaring pride and lack of embarrassment for the listener, regardless of their situation.
I won't walk away from you
Commitment to not abandon the listener.

When you can't keep going
Promising to support the listener when they feel unable to continue.
I will shoulder your burdens
Pledge to take on the listener's troubles and hardships.
