I Will Carry You
Yeah, I know it hurts
I look at him, Frodo, my master. Sitting there, starving, dehydrated, that horrid thing pressing down an in-hobbit weight upon his poor self.
Yeah, I know you're scared
Terror filling his eyes as that evil eye casts its gaze upon him.
Walkin' down
And yet he must continue nearing that horrid entity, no, that horrid thing.
The road that leads
Following along a trail of death and destruction, all that can be found in this horrible place.
To Who-Knows-Where
And neither of us is quite sure how to reach our destination, nor exactly how horrible that place will be.
Dont'cha hang your head
I can see him, his hope dwindling'
Dont'cha give up yet
and thinking that this whole journey may not be worth it.
When courage starts
And as I admire the courage that has led him so far;
To disappear
I see it leaving him, being sucked out.
I will be right here
"Mr. Frodo, I'm here." I say, earning myself a smile from him.
When your world
Absently I begin talking about the Shire, our home, our whole life until this awful quest.
Breaks down
I cringe and tears push their way through my shield at the thought of all of that beauty, that natural beauty being taken from us and ripped apart.
And the voices tell you,
Yet, he doesn't seem to hear me, even so I keep talking.
"Turn around"
"Why are we still here Sam?" He asks me. "I want to go home, his eye is almost on me."
When your dreams
"Remember our duty, Mr. Frodo, we have to save home."
Give out
His body sags with submission to this horrible thing, and I see that he no longer has the passion to finish this through.
I will carry you
Not without my help.
Carry you
So I heft him up onto my shoulders, and slowly drag both our weights up the mountain of fire.
When the stars
I look up, hoping for some strength from the shimmering and glistening stars.
Go blind
But I should have known that I would find none, there was no hope in this barren place; and therefore, the beauty of the stars had been erased.
And the darkness starts to
Somehow the world got darker as the giant mountain grew.
Flood your eyes
I look at Frodo, his eyes dimming as the evil takes hold on him.
When you're fallin'
His body limpens and I almost drop him.
Behind
I stop and lay him down to re-adjust.
I will carry you
And then lift him once more into my arms
Everybody cries
Tears stream from my eyes, landing on his face.
Everybody bleeds
The saltwater from my eyes slides into one of his numerous bleeding gashes.
No one ever
I look around at the empty land, feeling more alone than ever.
Said that life's
Frodo's life is being consumed by the Ring, leaving me alone.
An easy thing
Somehow this realization is weakening me.
That's the beauty of
We have to end this, for home.
When you lose your way
After all the challenges we've overcome, the confusion.
Close your eyes
He looks as if he is dying, his eyes slowly close; I think my heart breaks, I love him so much.
'N' go to sleep
"Mr. Frodo, not now, don't give up now. We must end this nightmare.
Wake up to
So tomorrow…
Another day
We can live again in peace."
When your world
"Sam, what is home?"
Breaks down
"The Shire."
And the voices tell you,
"Will we ever get back?
"Turn around"
Or should we just give up now?"
When your dreams
"Mr. Frodo, remember our quest.
Give out
We can't give up now!"
I will carry you
"Sam, put me down please.
Carry you
But don't let me go, don't let me fall."
When the stars
Something rises in front of us.
Go blind
Blotting out what is left of the night sky here.
And the darkness starts to
The shadow comes closer.
Flood your eyes
"Sam are you still here?"
When you've fallen
Suddenly the figure morphs into Gollum, and he knocks Frodo out of my arms.
Behind
I have to stop him, so I pick up the nearest rock, and bean him as hard as I can; Frodo takes this opportunity to make a break for the mountain of doom.
I will carry you
I rush to help him.
You should know now
He's standing solemnly on the ledge; then he looks at me, "The ring is mine." Has he forgotten our quest?!
That you're not alone
"No…" I cry, how could he leave me like this; alone?
Take my heart and we will find
My heart nearly stops; and suddenly my world went black.
You will find
When I came-to I saw Gollum and that hideous ring fall over the edge, where was Frodo? Finally I figured it out and grabbed his hand, pulling him up; and together we ran to safety.
Your way home
We collapsed on a rock outside Mount Doom, lava flowing around us; "We can go home Mr. Frodo!"
When the stars
This statement earns me such a smile that it shames the showing stars themselves.
Go blind
"I can see it Sam! I can see home, The Shire!"
And the darkness starts to
But it's still so angry, everything's falling apart.
Flood your eyes
But all I can see is Him, my Master, Frodo Baggins; his fair skin, his wonderfully messy raven hair, and his sapphire eyes sparkling with life once more.
When you've fallen
"Thank you for staying with me Samwise Gamgee.
Behind
Even when I deserted you." And with this statement he collapsed into my arms sobbing.
I will carry you
"I'll never leave you, no matter what."
Carry you
"Oh, Sam." Frodo's blue eyes locked onto my own.
I will carry you
Suddenly, it was not his eyes on my eyes, 'twas his lips on my lips; I smiled to myself and wrapped my arms around him, for once glad for that work that the Ring gave me.
Carry you
We huddle together as our world crumbles, and somehow I know, everything will be alright.
