Bear this on your own *Standing in the way*

(Sam and Frodo have stopped to rest on the stairway to Cirith Ungol. As Frodo rests Sam keeps watch)

Sam: You weren't ready to take this test

And I just wish we could end this quest

But you keep going when you should lay down and rest

And I.

You'll play your part to fight this war

But do you remember what we're fighting for?

It may take your soul and this I can't ignore

And I.

Wish I could say for certain when all this will end

Wish I could know this evil with which we must contend

Wish I could help you

And ease your pain, my friend

But you must bear this on your own

The sun is shining but your dark inside

Is this worth all those tears you've cried?

You may dying but my eyes are open wide

And I.

Wish I could lead you safely from the fate that's cast

Wish I could take this burden and let you sleep at last

Wish I could help you

But I fear that time has passed

And you must bear this on your own

You must bear this on your own

(While Sam is sat on the stair keeping watch, Aragorn is resting at the Stone of Erech thinking of Arwen)

Help you live *Giles and Tara's reprise*

Aragorn: You know you have my heart

But until this dangers through

I cannot be with you

And long we'll be apart

But there's nothing I can do

Just hope that you'll be true to me

And your heart you'll give me

Sam: Give me just a chance to try

You don't need a reason why

It's just I.

Wish I could lead you safely from the fate that's cast

Wish I could take this burden and let you sleep at last

And I.

Aragorn: I know that you could go and be with those you love

But I hope that you will know

This world is for, you and me to love so

We can live for more and I.

Together: Will help you live

Will help you live

Will help you live
