[Verse]
Who was the first to carry the name
Before the battles before the flame
A shadow walking in the mist
Born of struggle clenched fist
[Verse 2]
On the shores where the waves collide
Carving paths where secrets hide
A spark ignited a line begun
The Nelson name beneath the sun
[Chorus]
Oh Nelson carry the weight
Through the ages through the gates
Blood and sweat carved in stone
The name lives on it stands alone
[Verse 3]
Through the wars and endless fight
The Nelsons stood in the dimming light
Swords in hand hearts of fire
Through the ashes they climb higher
[Bridge]
From the first breath to the last cry
Through the centuries passing by
A legacy written in the dust
A name of honor a name to trust
[Chorus]
Oh Nelson carry the weight
Through the ages through the gates
Blood and sweat carved in stone
The name lives on it stands alone
