LYRICS

You carry me like mama carry baby
When it comes to me there will never be maybe
It’s either yes or no
No matter the side of the divide I’m never letting go
Me going stick on you like glue
Wear your name on my body like a permanent tattoo
See see see see how many flights I flew
I’ve been around the world
Me never seen a love like you
Beauty is vain and charm deceit
But this love you shown me none can defeat
And I’m loving it
Takes me off my feet 24-7 everyday
I’m loving it
Oh God, oh Lord
It’s you that I want
You bless me with every single thing that I want
Rain on me daily blessings falling on me
And you carry me up

CHORUS

You don carry me go up Oh Lord
I cannot fall I cannot fall no
You carry me go up Oh Lord
I cannot fall I cannot fall

So I’d be flying in the air like an eagle
Me I’m never feeble
In front of circumstances I giggle
God put His hands on me so it’s clear to see
For me to fail is illegal
Yeah I’d be flying all day
Kinging all the way
Taking over cities
Lagos to Bombay
Me I spread from the East to the West
To the North to the South
What ya saying?
See man a man a blessed man
And so me beat up me chest
See Him blessings are fit manifest now
And then me cool in the morning, in the noon
Every night every hour no power can test now
And me a champion my Jehovah say that
There’s none that man can do
So me I go square up, cheer up, raise up
Young Ruler it’s only in you I rule Lord

CHORUS
You don carry me go up Oh Lord
I cannot fall I cannot fall no
You carry me go up Oh Lord
I cannot fall I cannot fall

BRIDGE
You carry me up
I can’t go down

CHORUS
You don carry me go up Oh Lord
I cannot fall I cannot fall no
You carry me go up Oh Lord
I cannot fall I cannot fall
