Carry the Sorrow, Carry the Love — A Song from Chapter 5
Some songs pour out of joy. Others come out of wounds. Carry the Sorrow, Carry the Love was written out of both.
In Chapter 5: Facing the Real Fight of my book Living Strong: The Power of Defining Moments, I share about loss — the kind of loss that no one can prepare for. The loss of my son, PJ. The weight of fatherhood, failure, and grief.
That pain never goes away. But it doesn’t have to destroy us.
It can transform us.
This song carries that truth. It reminds us that grief and love cannot be separated. To lose someone is to carry sorrow. But that sorrow is also proof of love. And if we carry both, we discover a new kind of strength.
Lyrics: Carry the Sorrow, Carry the Love
Verse 1
We all have moments that cut to the bone,
Loss leaves us standing, feeling alone.
But sorrow’s not weakness, it’s part of the flame,
A weight that reminds us love still has a name.
We can’t run from heartache, we can’t turn away,
But we learn how to carry it day after day.
Chorus
Carry the sorrow, carry the love,
Both are the fire that lifts us above.
Through every shadow, through every storm,
We rise with the courage that grief has formed.
Verse 2
The pain never leaves us, it shapes who we are,
Every scar is a story, every tear is a star.
We honor the memory, we honor the fight,
We walk through the darkness and still find the light.
It’s not about moving past, it’s learning to grow,
To carry the sorrow and let the love show.
Chorus
Carry the sorrow, carry the love,
Both are the fire that lifts us above.
Through every shadow, through every storm,
We rise with the courage that grief has formed.
Bridge
The heart may be broken, but love still remains,
It flows through the sorrow, it heals through the pain.
The weight that we carry becomes our new song,
A melody proving we’re still living strong.
Final Chorus
Carry the sorrow, carry the love,
Both are the fire that lifts us above.
Through every shadow, through every storm,
We rise with the courage that grief has formed.
Yeah, we rise with the courage that grief has formed.
The Living Strong Lesson
We cannot have love without sorrow. To lose is to grieve. But grief is not a weakness — it is a reminder that love has shaped us, and love still lives in us.
Living Strong means carrying both — the sorrow and the love. It means letting grief shape us, not shatter us. It means dancing in the tension of pain and joy, and finding in that dance the courage to live again.
