(Eric Beall)
Carry on
When the valley's deep
I'll be strong
With a mighty love to
Carry on
Never sleep til' the new day dawns
There's a new breeze blowin' tonight
Clear away the past
Honey, free at last
Yes, I've paid for the choices I've made
No apologies from me
You know I'll never, no
Never lose my will
Never, never standin' still
I'll carry on
When the valley's deep I'll be strong
With a mighty love to carry on
Never sleep til' the new day dawns
I carry on
I stand alone in the eye of the storm
Pressures all around
Tryin' to wear me down
But it's all right
I won't give up the fight
I said, ";Lord, lift me up!";
Let me rise above
I'll never
Nobody's gonna take my pride
I won't stop
I will not be denied
Carry on
When the valley's deep I'll be strong
With a mighty love to carry on, carry on
I'll never sleep till the new day dawns
I carry on
I won't let, I won't let nothing hold me
No, no I won't let
Won't let nothing hold me back
I won't stop now
Carry on, I'll carry on
Yes, I'll carry
I'll carry on, yeah
Yes I'll carry
Carry on, I'm gonna carry on
Yes, I'll carry
Carry on
Don't carry on without me
I said I'll never
Nobody's gonna take my pride
I won't stop I will not be denied
Carry on
When the valley's deep
I'll be strong with the mighty love to
Carry on, carry on
I'll never sleep till the new day dawns
When the valley's deep
Just carry on
I'll carry on
When the mountain's too high
You gotta carry on
I'll carry on
With the mighty love
I'll never sleep
I'll carry on till the new day dawns
Carry on ...
So what can I do, what can I say
Do I have to stand and
Watch you walk away
I know there's got to be
A better way
I just can't go on living for today
I thought I heard a voice
Out on the wind
And I'm sure I heard it say
I'd find a friend
And it said I'd find
The answers in the end
All I gotta do is carry on
Carry on, carry on, the time is flyin'
You need another love
Maybe another town
Carry on, carry on
Don't wait until your hope is gone
When your last chance
Comes round
I'm gonna keep on looking
I won't quit
Aggravation
It ain't gonna hurt a bit
And I believe that
I have seen the last of it
There's nothing left to do
La, la, la, la, la, la....
Carry on
carry on my love
just don't look back again
follow the dream that's in you
say so long
say so long my love
just get it right this time
you know it's all up to you
you've wandered down this road so long
but faith keeps telling you to go on, go on
Carry on, carry on
carry on, carry on
Carry on
carry on my love
just don't look back again
look for the strength that's in you
say so long
say so long my love
trust in your heart again
you know it's all up to you
you've wandered down that road so long
but faith keeps telling you to go on, go on
Carry on, carry on
carry on, carry on
Carry on
carry on my love
just don't look back again
look for the strength that's in you
say so long
say so long my love
Baby, baby don't be afraid
baby you can make it baby
baby, baby, baby, baby carry on
you can make it
baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
baby, baby, baby carry on
There was something in your eyes that I saw tonight
I never thought that I would see it
Now there’s holes in my walls and there’s glass on the floor
And you said you didn’t mean it
You went from zero to none in these past three months on your level of affection
I don’t wanna be that girl that cries herself to sleep putting up with your rejection cause
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
When I try to make sense out of what we have I also fall into depression
Because I know in my heart that we both grown apart ain’t no use in us pretending
We never talk on the phone and you’re never at home
And if you are there’s always tension
I ain’t gonna be that girl that ends up staying sitting around just regretting cause
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I’m tired of fighting, I’m tired of spiting
My life is a storm full of raining and lightening
My insides are pleading of the screaming
And sometimes I just feel like I’m no longer breathing
I look in your eyes all I see is a demon
I’m tired of wearing my heart on my sleeve and I just don’t know why I stay
Cause day after day continue to say
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
This can’t be what it is; I don’t wanna live my life like this.
I can’t carry on living life like this, living life like this
If life's little downs they keep coming around
Carry on, carry on
With darkness all about, you want to scream and shout
Carry on, carry on
Don't cry baby, look at where you've been
Everybody knows you just need a friend
Please, please, please, if you're down on your knees
Carry on, carry on
Your head is full of doubt, you can't figure it out
Carry on, carry on
Between the time it takes to make all those mistakes
Carry on, carry on
It don't matter what you say or do
It just seems to work out if you want it to
Let out all the slack, take it off your back
Carry on, carry on
Let me bend your ear, never shed a tear
Carry on, carry on
Mama went to sleep one night and never woke up
Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup
Now all he wants to do is drink the hurt all away
If Mama was here I know what Mama would say
Carry on
Carry on
What don’t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Little sister’s husband ran off with her best friend
Left her and the babies all alone again
It hurts to know the hurt that she’s going through
But I know that she’ll do what she’s gotta do
Carry on
Carry on
What don’t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Nobody ever said that life was gonna be fair
You’re never gonna get nowhere by running scared
If you look down deep inside you’ll find the faith to make you strong
Oh, oh carry on
I try to walk the sunny side of the street
Don’t let no shadows tangle up my feet
There ain’t no troubles that we can’t rise above
With a handful of faith and a heartful of love
Carry on
Carry on What don’t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Carry on What don’t kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Whatever the words that you hear,
Somehow the meaning is clear,
We're all on the same ship together, moving on,
From the first time that life could be heard,
To the last sounds of men on this earth,
The question is always the same, where are we going, where are we going?
Ooh carry on, carry on,
There's a silver light beside you,
Take the hand that's there to guide you
Through this night to where we came from,
Carry on, carry on,
When the autumn leaves are falling,
And you hear the voices calling you away,
Then do not fear, you'll carry on,
Carry on, carry on...
Love is the daughter of life, comfort to trouble and strife,
She's always beside you to help you carry on,
Oh they say that the stars in the sky,
Are the souls of the people who die,
Will we meet them again when we reach our destination?
Sratseht rofesruo cates,
Nwonknu no it anitsed,
Dlroweht gnillacsi esrevinu eht,
Ecalp gnitser lanif dnatsal rehs-drawot,
Ooh carry on, carry on,
There's a silver light beside you,
Take the hand that's there to guide you
Through this night to where we came from,
Carry on, carry on,
When the autumn leaves are falling,
And you hear the voices calling you away,
Then do not fear, you'll carry on, carry on,
Carry on, carry on...ooh carry on...
If the sun refused to shine
And your love's no longer mine
And if I never get no more snow
I couldn't care if the winds don't blow
She said to satisfy my soul, don't you carry on
And love me all morning, and love me when I get home
Love me all morning, and love me when I get home
You know that time won't wait
And pretty soon it's gonna be too late
Still you're drivin' me insane
You know I need your love again
She said to satisfy my soul, don't you carry on
Love me all morning, and love me when I get home
She said, love me all morning, and love me when I get home
Baby, don't you let me down
I think you'd better take a look around
Cause if I never get no more snow
I couldn't care if the winds don't blow
She said to satisfy my soul, don't you carry on
And love me all morning, and love me when I get home

One morning I woke up and I knew that you were gone.
A new day, a new way, I knew I should see it along.
Go your way, I'll go mine and carry on.
The sky is clearing and the night has gone out.
The sun, he come, the world is all full of light.
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but to carry on.
The fortunes of fables are able to sing the song.
Now witness the quickness with which we get along.
To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and carry on.
Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all.
Where are you going now my love? Where will you be tomorrow?
Will you bring me happiness? Will you bring me sorrow?
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see,
Lover, can you talk to me?
Girl, when I was on my own, chasing you down,
What was it made you run, trying your best just to get around?
The questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see,
Words they echo in my mind
Feelings that slow down the time
I don't know if I'm forwards or behind
Eyes are staring out at me
And people all surrounding me
All the hands upon me - now I'm lost
I only wish that you were here
with you fear seems to disappear
If only I could take back how I feel
I only wanna be ok
But I don't know another way
Destroys the thing that means the most to me
It seems familiar
I've been here before
yeah it's all i need to read my thoughts now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Find it hard to concentrate
And i can never meditate
Try to get my mind right off of you
No matter how i feel today
I only know that things'll change
And i don't really care if you felt good
I seem familiar
You've been here before
Yeah it's all i need to read my thoughts now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
Cut me down til there's nothing left now
Carry on, carry on
Count the things that i've done wrong
The north start always guides me
When winter skies are gray
And I want for the sun when all are one
I shall not betray calling at me
I'm waiting when all are led astray
Chorus:
Carry on my sons forever
Carry on when I'm gone
Carry on for when the day is long
For as long as we're together
Then forever carry on
Darkness all around us we don't close our eyes
No one gonna ground us we were born to fly
Coming at us no stopping born to amplify
Chorus
Yea, be my brother fight to stay alive
All the world can't change us
With all their borned out jive
Come get us now we're
Waiting we won't run and hide
Chorus
Now we're all together let's sing a fighting song
One hundred thousand rides we can't all be wrong
Coming at us no stopping always carry on
This will be over
I hope you don't mind the pain
I wanna cut you
And let you force it out clean
It'd be a shot quick
I think I know how this works
Things will be better
Because they can't get much worse
And we will carry on
Carry... carry on
Now, I can't carry the weight of your hang-ups
They're dead weight, they're made out of lead
And I can't carry the guilt and frustration
Of something someone else said
Now I'm just learning to carry myself
Carry myself on my own
Now I'm just looking to carry myself
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Whenever I see you
I know you think I don't know
That I could be you
And your thoughts they don't show
I want to trust you
I want to trust you so bad
I want to bust you
Stealing the few things we had
And we will carry on
Carry on
Now, I can't carry the weight of your hang-ups
They're dead weight, they're made out of lead
And I can't carry the guilt and frustration
Of something someone else said
Now I'm just learning to carry myself
Carry myself on my own
Now I'm just looking to carry myself
Carry on, carry on, carry on
(Now's the place to lose your faith
Keep the faith that reinstates the habits
That are forming what you feel)
I didn't understand the things you're going through
I never understood, I really never knew
Carry on
Carry on
The sun will always shine
Carry on
Carry on
We'll have a glass of wine
Or cigarette
Take destiny by the hand
And lead it far away
Take it to another land
We will all decay
Carry on
Carry on
The sun will always shine
Carry on
Carry on
We'll have a glass of wine
Baby's just a little bit tired of the city
Billboards and bullshit got her down
Seem like you need a little hill country
A little back roads driving, little bit of the old top down
Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime
Forget about yourself for a while
Seems to me that all you need
Is a rag top car and a ride with me
Okay, alright
Just might get a little high tonight
Okay, alright
Carry on
Ol' Walt Wilkins lives up in Nashville
You know his eyes have seen the miles
Walt, why don't you jump in Jim T's caddy
Come down to Texas and drink with me a while
Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime
Forget about yourself for a while
Will go down to El Arroyo have some tacos and beer
Yeah, and let ourselves go
Okay, alright
Just might try to get it right tonight
I'm okay, alright
Carry on
Lover, make sure that you got your troubles
Lover, make sure that you work too hard
Ain't nobody that don't get tired
Watch your troubles pile up big in your own backyard
Sometimes you've got to grab your world with your own two hands
Set it spinning off on a course all your own
Take yourself a big bag for your shoulder
Find yourself some good times, bring them on back home
Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime
Forget about yourself for a while
Lay your whole life upon a shelf
Got no one to blame but your own damn self
Okay, alright
Heaven only know what gonna happen tonight
I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright
I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright
Oh carry on, yeah
(Alan Morse, Stan Ausmus & John Boegehold)
I dreamed a journey
And left to begin it
I opened my mind
But I fell deep down in it
Lost at the crossroads of two worlds
Watching the future unwind
I was blind to a truth I
Always knew
CARRY ON
When your whole world comes apart
There's a place for you to start
So I kept searching for
Someone to find me
I tried to define
What was always denied me
Traveling mazes of mirrors
Searching for one perfect sign
I was a miner for fools gold
Though I knew
You have to
CARRY ON
When your whole world comes apart
There's a place for you to start
When the current drags you down
There's a way up to be found
CARRY ON
Through the days and through the nights
CARRY ON
Though you might
Feel your burden drag you down
There's a way up to be found
When your whole world comes apart
There's a place for you to start
When the current drags you down
There's a way up to be found
I dreamed a journey
And left to begin it
I opened my mind
But I fell deep down in it
You may feel like throwing the towel in,
You may feel like giving up.
You may feel like turning and running,
Don't look back, cause things will start looking up.
Carry on though the wind is strong,
Carry on in the face of lies.
The accused have a lasting song,
For the Lord will hear their cries.
They may call you a coward, a fake,
They may call you cruel and dishonest,
They may point a finger, that's all you can take,
Don't give up, His grace is upon us.
Carry on though the wind is strong,
Carry on in the face of lies.
The accused have a lasting song,
For the Lord will hear their cries.
I want to tell you now.
Carry on though the wind is strong,
Carry on in the face of lies.
The accused have a lasting song,
Simple minded brain,
for now you succumb
Nothing changes your way
This worlds insists to be the same
based on our mistakes
The flowers fade along the road
Don't blindfold your eyes,
so loneliness becomes the law of a senseless life
Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are on your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride to get there...
Now we have to face another day
You won't be alone
This life is forcing us to stay
- For how long?
Cold is the wind and thunder struck on a stormy night
But can't you see, I'm by your side
We are marching on!
Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are on your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride to get there...
So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past, to carry on
Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are on your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride to get there...
So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past
So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past, to carry on
The remains from the past, to carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
To the students on the campus
Who are speaking out for Jesus
As the winds of opposition
Swirl around you day by day...
Even if you're mocked and hated
Don't you be intimidated
There's a great reward that's waiting
If you only carry on
CHORUS:
Carry on, carry on
It won't be long before
We're gathered 'round God's throne
Carry on, carry on
To the lonely missionary
To the pastor growing weary
To the parents of the wayward child
For whom you've prayed so long...
This is not the time to let up
It's the time to lift your head up
When you sow in tears
You'll reap in joy
Don't stop, carry on
CHORUS
And if you're facing great temptation
And you need some consolation
'Cause the devil's doing all he can
Just to make you trip and fall...
Well, the devil will accuse you
He'll even try to bruise you
But resist him, and he'll flee from you
Get up, and carry on
CHORUS (repeat)
Don't confuse neediness for love
Because obsession never lasts and you're insane by a landslide
Never cared for you much until death do us part
You'll always be distressed
Carry on, with the guise of a sheep in a storm
You're a wolf and you're losing the ground that you're on
But hey hey, I've got things to say
I've lost control of life
I don't know how many times I've tried
To undo the knot you've tied
My face is red, and people change
I've changed for good this time
And I've followed you around
I've seen you all over town
I've got a laundry list telling me why
It follows to prove I was right
Carry on, with the guise of a sheep in a storm
You're a wolf and you're losing the ground that you're on
But hey hey, I've got things to say
I've lost control of life
I don't know how many times I've tried
To undo the knot you've tied
My face is red, and people change
I've changed for good this time
I just can't handle this, I'm just so scared of it
A challenge fit for a man when I'm just a kid
I'm all torn at the seams, just like you said I'd be
If this is love, then I don't want a part of it
I just can't handle this, I'm just so scared of it
A challenge fit for a man when I'm just a kid
I'm all torn at the seams, just like you said I'd be
If this is love, then I don't want a part of it
But hey hey, I've got things to say
I've lost control of life
I don't know how many times I've tried
To undo the knot you've tied
My face is red, and people change
I've changed for good this time
Carry on (carry on)
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Hey hey, carry on (carry on)
Trusting is one thing I don't know
When it comes to the campaigning men
But I'll meet you at the election
When I vote for the hope of this land
Carry on
Carry on
Just take a good look around you
The ghettos begin at your feet
And there's a family of six through a window
Looking way down at you on the street
Carry on
Carry on
Send us in any direction
Airports, buses and cabs
But somehow through all this confusion
We lose things that we've never hadCarry on
Carry on
A funeral was held in the winter
The old lady pull from her purse
A thoughand tears on a napkin
While waving away at the hearse
Carry on
Carry on
Trusting is one thing I don't know
When it comes to the campaigning men
But I'll meet you at the election
When I vote for the hope of this land
Carry on
Carry on
There is strength in my weakness
That only comes from You
There is power in meekness
That I have found in You
Where else can I go
You know I'm weak
I know You're strong
You say when I'm broken
And can't carry on
Carry on
When all my strength is gone
You're still holding on
There is love for the lonely
That only comes from You
There is peace and forgiveness
That I have found in You
Where else can I go
You are the Way
You are the light
You are the voice calling me through the night
(You are Holy and just
Full of mercy and love
You are patient and kind
Carry on, carry on
The chanting has begun
A hymn of fame and glory forever
And ride on, ride on
In union we are strong
A symphony for freedom and glory
We are strangers in a strange land
We are born as renegades
And show the world what they should see
We are standing at the crossroads
Revolution is our way
We're breaking down the walls of hate
Carry on, carry on
The chanting has begun
A hymn of fame and glory forever
And ride on, ride on
In union we are strong
A symphony for freedom and glory
We are guardians of the future
Defenders of our faith
And we are bound for victory
When our hearts call for rebellion
Raising hands up to the sky
And tell the world to turn away
Carry on, carry on
The chanting has begun
A hymn of fame and glory forever
And ride on, ride on
In union we are strong
A symphony for freedom and glory
Carry on, carry on
The chanting has begun
A hymn of fame and glory forever
Carry on, carry on
The chanting has begun
A hymn of fame and glory forever
And ride on, ride on
In union we are strong
I found a treasure in you, a black coal diamond in the rough.
I chipped away to find out, that there was nothing here.
Nothin' like I thought.
I learned that lesson slowly, over seven years I threw away.
Giving you my total attention.
While I was finding you I lost my way.
Sinking like a stone, cutting to the bone.
How can I be safe, or find my way back home.
'Cause you have been erased, I'd rather be alone.
You best be on your way so I can carry on.
You stuck your blade within me.
Cold metal and steel sinking through my bones.
Some people live that selfish desire
Some choose to shout when they speak and they'll be the start
Caught in the flame of those deep in fire
Seeking out those with a voice
One for tomorrow
They say we've lost our minds, we've just gained control
Search endlessly, fight till we're free
Fly past the edge of the sea
No bend in me, no mockery,
Somehow we still carry on
(fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear)
Silence your fear, we've got to move higher,
High like the stars in the sky
Guiding us all
Battle the will of those who consá¹—ire,
Take back the passion to live, vanish the sorrow
Destroys their perfect crime, watch the power fold
Search endlessly, fight till we're free
Fly past the edge of the sea
No bend in me, no mockery,
Somehow we still carry on
Search endlessly, fight till we're free
Fly past the edge of the sea
No bend in me, no mockery,
Somehow we still carry on
[Intro: Shyheim, sample]
"Is that any way for a man to carry on, carry on
carry on" - sample repeated throughout intro
Mister education, I'm on my way, let's go, uh huh
Ask yourself, if you was me, yeah, carry on, but you
ain't got now
[Shyheim]
Layin' in my cell, starin' at the ceiling, oh what a fucked up feeling
The things that I used to adore, I no longer find appealing
And the girl I loved so much, she started exhaling
While I was jailing, my niggaz turned the other cheek
So I stopped calling, I sensed they ain't wanna speak
I couldn't go to sleep, no one to hug but my sheets
Kept bangers for the beef, that follow me from the street
Dear mama, I wrote you a letter, why you ain't write back?
Must of went right back, to the pipe and crack
If it wasn't for grandma, I would of been hung up
But I heard her voice in my head, tellin' me to be tough
I put the sheet back on the mattress, where the fuck is my matches
When I need a cigarette, you ain't feelin' my pain yet
So, anybody, everybody, somebody, please
Tell me, is this any way?
[Chorus x2: sample]
"Is that any way for a man to carry on, carry on carry on
Oh oh... yeah..., carry on"
[Shyheim]
Last night I couldn't sleep, I tossed and turned
Heard hell was hot and dark, and the fire really burns
My lawyer firm, couldn't get this day to germ
So I'm sittin' on the edge of the bed, I lit a C, I journed
Took a deep inhale, blew out the smoke, like fuck it kid
It is what it is, I'mma die in jail
And for my last million, you know the God, from the mob ate spaghetti
Soon as I birthed, the C.O. jerked "Franklin, you ready?"
I guess so, he like 'let's go', my comrade next go
Scream "hold your head, babe bro", Yeah yeah
See you when you get there, I'mma have it crackin'
For every G mackin', in this sad fashion, we started laughing
The funny thing was, it wasn't nothin' funny
At the end nothing matters, the God,drugs or the money
I'm shackled bashful, walking down the corridor
Chains draggin' on the floor, I said a prayer for all of y'all
[Chorus x2]
[Shyheim]
Seven four pound, I'm wakin' up to a count
Washed my face, brushed my teeth, rinsed my mouth
My super three, blastin' ODB off the meter
And I sip a cup of Folgers, fresh off the stinger
Got my greens on, sittin' with my feet up
Waitin' on the porter, to bring my feed up
Cuz yesterday, in the fish tank, a bitch nigga got ate
And beat up, I'm blowin', stick after stick
But stayin' on my water game, avoiding the dirty dick
I ain't rich, I don't spit on no home for nigga's chicks
Stay in my gangsta pose, like every move I make false, click click
You can catch Shy in transit, with my eyes open
Scopin' out for my bandits, it better be more careful
Like the book written by Shannon, I never signed in
Got disciplinary record, that Flex can't even split
I'm a soldier, I thought I told ya
My rep rap in the kept, like seven up, not the soda
I stopped at Wendy's, but it wasn't for a burger
I'm a Clinton hub thug, and the green bloods get no love
And in Marcy, I really see niggaz cough up a lung
But I'm really tryin' to chill, get closer to home
I hear a voice inside my head
I don't want to hear it again
See your face inside my head
I don't want to see it again
You say that love is everything
We made it that's for sure
Yet the key to my undoing
Is a knock upon your door
There you sit inside my head
I don't want to see you again
Hanging out, knocking me dead
I don't want to feel it again
You say that love is everything
I bought it that's for sure
Still the key to my undoing
Is the knock upon your door
I'm the one to carry on
I'll be here to carry on
When your world is falling down
I'll be beside you right or wrong
I'm the one to carry on
I'll be here to carry on
I'll be running down the road beside you
The one to carry on
Now there's trouble and a new romance
I don't want to hear it again
Running short on a second chance
Don't want to hear it again
You say that love is everything
We've been there that's for sure
Now you're living out the questions
I thought I answered years before
I'm the one to carry on
I'll be here to carry on
When your world is falling down
I'll be beside you right or wrong
I'm the one to carry on
I'll be here to carry on
I'll be running down the road beside you
The one to carry on
I hear your voice inside my head
I don't want to hear it again
Hanging out knocking me dead
I don't want to feel it again
I'm the one to carry on
I'll be here to carry on
When your world is falling down
I'll be beside you right or wrong
I'm the one to carry on
I'll be here to carry on
I'll be running down the road beside you
The one to carry on
I'm the one to carry on
I'll be here to carry on
When your world is falling down
I'll be beside you right or wrong
I'm the one to carry on
I'll be here to carry on
I'll be running down the road beside you
Tell me a story about the way I use to be
Millions of pieces all the spaces in between
Crack in the mirror all the things that we cant see
Tell me a story about the way i use to be
Through this window sky’s exploding
I am floating higher and higher where time fades away
Carry on
Tell me a story like the pictures on tv
A beautiful dream I had of a world that cant be seen
You were my lover only thing that sets me free
Tell me a story about the way we use to be
Through this window skies exploding
I see storm clouds rising higher as time fades away
Carry on
Carry on
We are we are
Through this window I see sunrise
See the storm clouds rising high as we fade away
Carry on
In the morning skies exploding
I am floating higher and higher where time fades away

Well I've been beat down to the sound of laughter, but I'll be okay
And you can keep calling me your beautiful disaster, all damn day
See I hold your heart like a part of me baby
It's the only thing that's stopping me from falling down
Yeah, you're the harmony that keeps me sound
Chorus: so now if I stay or if I go
I'll always hold your heart of gold
For if I stray if I'm not strong
You'll be my strength to carry on
Be my strength to carry on
Be my strength to carry on
So burn me down and dance around the ashes, I'll be okay
'cause I go up like an airplane when it crashes, all damn day
See I hold your heart like a part of me baby
It's the only thing that's stopping me from falling down
Yeah you're the harmony that keeps me sound
Chorus
Never let me go
I'm no good lonely, without you
So you can keep calling me your beautiful disaster, I'll be okay
Chorus
Be my strength to carry on
[Hook]
I tell her, don’t stop, keep it going
So fly, no luggage, baby carry on
Carry on, go on carry on
Drop it down and take it to the moon
Don’t stop, keep it going
So fly, no luggage, baby carry on
Carry on, go on carry on
Keep doing what you doing
I can see you on now
You on that new shit
I see you on that new shit
I see you on that new shit
Just keep it true
And I’ll never confuse it
[Verse 1]
‘Cause ain’t nobody fly like you
Like what I see, got a birds eye view
You’re what I’ve been waiting for
2×2, got me all wrapped up like Erykah Badu,so
Drama freak out, no luggage, go on carry on
Smile shine bright like a canary stone
Hell’s on, walking through this lobby like a runaway
Then I’m on to your game, can I come play
Just rolled up, going for the high score
Full attention girl you something that I can’t ignore
Live a life that these other dames can’t afford
There’s a target on your ass, and it made me fall
[Hook]
I tell her, don’t stop, keep it going
So fly, no luggage, baby carry on
Carry on, go on carry on
Drop it down and take it to the moon
Don’t stop, keep it going
So fly, no luggage, baby carry on
Carry on, go on carry on
Keep doing what you doing
I can see you on now
You on that new shit
I see you on that new shit
I see you on that new shit
Just keep it true
And I’ll never confuse it
[Verse 2]
It’s more than the physical
Everything you do is so original
Make all these other bitches look invisible
Dressed up, every night is your fashion show
Got tans all around from the panel
Swear that you jump right out of the style channel
Can’t nobody in hell see you like
Camera will never show it all off
Just a sample, paying through
Heels just set, carry on Louie
Go ahead show ‘em how to pop up money
Crusing, you ain’t gotta hide
First class fly, Welcome to the club Melheim
[Hook]
I tell her, don’t stop, keep it going
So fly, no luggage, baby carry on
Carry on, go on carry on
Drop it down and take it to the moon
Don’t stop, keep it going
So fly, no luggage, baby carry on
Carry on, go on carry on
Keep doing what you doing
I can see you on now
You on that new shit
I see you on that new shit
I see you on that new shit
Just keep it true
How many times have I told you
You can't hang on to the past
Well, you know I'm not trying to scold you, baby
But the years are moving fast
And it comes as no surprise to me
There's nothing left for you
So I offer my philosophy
The one thing you should do
Carry on
Though it may be hard to understand it
You've got to carry on
Carry on
Things may not work out the way you planned it
You've got to carry on
Tell me how could he ever believe you
Who could wade through all the lies
You were thinking that love would go on forever
But he saw through your disguise
And it comes as no surprise to me
There's nothing left for you
So I'll offer my philosophy
The one thing you should do
Carry on
Though it may be hard to understand it
You've got to carry on
Carry on
Things may not turn out the way you planned it
Simple minded brain
for now you succumb
Nothing changes your way
This world insists to be the same
based on our mistakes
The flowers fade along the road
Don't blindfold your eyes,
so loneliness becomes the law
of a senseless life
Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are in your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride
to get there... [go!]
Now we have to face another day
You won't be alone
This life is forcing us to stay
- For how long?
Cold is the wind and thunder struck
on a stormy night
But can't you see, I'm by your side
We are marching on!...
Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are in your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride
to get there...
So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past, to carry on
Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are in your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride
to get there...
So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past
So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past, to carry on
The remains from the past, to carry on
You'll never know what you've done for me
Through the days and nights together care free.
I long for the day that I make you my own
And I cherish the times that we spent in our home.
I love you my girl, yer heart and yer soul,
So thankful you've dragged me right out of this hole.
Punk rock princess forever I'll spend,
Each penny on you my true friend, yeah.
And I know - And I know
Life gets harder as you will discover but,
Carry on - Carry On
For you I would look the devil in the face
And I'd search ten times over for amazing grace.
I don't have much money, but I do have the time,
To spend with you baby, till the day that I die.
Well most days are good yeah, but some might be bad.
And together they both will conquer this land.
I've said and thought it and know that it's true,
That girl was made just for you!
[Chorus]
Carry on, carry on, carry on
I know you know I've been damaged, savaged
You know I know that it's sordid, horrid
But you're not the only one I love
You think you're someone sent from up above
Well, I'd kiss your hands, your feet, your hair
Well, if I'm a man, then I'm your fan
You're the best thing I'm ever going to have
So take my hand and carry on and on and on
Ain't no mistaking, this is taking and raping
I'm sick and tired from dreams awaking, I'm faking
But you're not the only one I love
You think you're someone sent from up above
I kissed your hands, your feet, your hair
Well, if I'm a man, I'm your fan
You're the best thing I'm ever going to have
Never doubt all the things you have ever done
Nobody knows all the things you've been through
Does not even matter what they say
It's OK
You were born as a man. Keep your head straight
So keep it real, don't give up, be yourself
Does not even matter what they say
It' OK
Carry on I will fight to the end
Make a run to the horizon
This is where you explode
Carry on I will fight to the end
Make a run to the horizon
This is where I shine on
Go for it
Never doubt all the things you have done
Nobody knows all the things you've been through
Does not even matter what they say
It's OK
You were born as a man. Keep your head straight
So keep it real, don't give up, be yourself
Does not even matter what they say
It' OK
Carry on I will fight to the end
Make a run to the horizon
This is where you explode
Carry on I will fight to the end
Make a run to the horizon
This is where I shine on
Go for it
Bring on the pain and
Raise your hands up
Come on everybody burn your souls now
Bring it on I'm never going to lose
Bring on the pain and
Raise your hands up
Come on everybody burn your souls now
Don't wanna stand here and wait all day for you
Go!!
Carry on I will fight to the end
Make a run to the horizon
This is where you explode
Carry on I will fight to the end
Make a run to the horizon
This is where I shine on
Sometimes when my life seems hard to understand.
Sometimes when it's hard to carry on.
The world is spinning on,
And everything goes wrong and nothing's won.
Sometimes when I'm sad and I feel down and low.
And even light's too dark to see.
Respect is what I need
Instead of selfishness and greed,
My heart still bleeds, and it hurts so deep...
But then I hear this voice from deep inside. (it's calling me)
It makes me realize: I'm free...
Just to be me!
SO HERE I STAND AGAIN,
AND I'VE LOST THE PAIN.
AND I KNOW THAT I WILL SURVIVE.
HERE I STAND AGAIN,
AND MY HEART IS STRONG,
SO I KNOW THAT I WILL CARRY ON.
Sometimes when I find that thing
called "peace of mind".
I really have to hold on to it... tight...
I try to see things bright but when the days turns into night
It loses light, and I lose my fight.
But then again this voice from deep inside of me. (is calling me)
It gives me strength and I brake free...
Cause I'm still me!
SO HERE I STAND AGAIN,
AND I'VE LOST THE PAIN.
AND I KNOW THAT I WILL SURVIVE.
HERE I STAND AGAIN,
AND MY HEART IS STRONG,
Your pessimism is drowning me out.
I keep on screaming but you're holding me under!
I tried so hard to get it through to you.
You think you're better than everyone else.
Don't act so desperate.
It's time to get over yourself,
it's time to get yourself,
and you look so miserable.
It's time to get over yourself,
it's time to get over yourself!
You're not worth my time,
you're so full of shit.
Don't go running your mouth again!
I caught you lying to them,
I caught you playing with fire!
Don't go searching for sympathy.
I caught you looking at them,
I caught you playing with fire!
You'll get nothing from me.
Don't act so desperate.
It's time to get over yourself.
And when you reach,
reach for me
you know that someday
I will carry on.
And when you fall,
fall away you know
that someday
I will carry on.
I'll carry on.
Don't go running your mouth again!
I caught you lying to them,
I caught you playing with fire!
Don't go searching for sympathy.
I caught you looking at them,
I caught you playing with fire!
And when you reach,
reach for me
you know that someday
I will carry on.
And when you reach,
reach for me
you know that someday
I will carry on.
And when you fall,
fall away
you know that someday
I will carry on.
I'll carry on.
Don't go running your mouth again!
Poverty stricken fingers reach to grasp hopes slipping
Through like water despair hangs drawing outsiders in for
A moment of hell but they bought their way out while the
Rest suffer turn your heads & walk away. Carry on just the
It's 2 AM in bed and thoughts run through her head
Shes never been alone and rarely stayed at home
Shes always out with him; the nights would never end
All alone at school looking like a fool,
where's her boyfriend at; she's nothing without that
What are they gonna say?
You wonder what it's like to be cool
Well no one here will ever lie to you
It's time you carry on from all those games you play
and all those things you've ever said
that brings me back to why I don't wanna go home
Back to all this anguish, back to those simple days in May
All which led to reasons why I don't wanna go home
She had to get away and just the other day I saw her at a show,
I never thought shed go
She looked so innocent; I knew what this had meant
She grabbed my hand and out the door we ran,
took me to her car and wanted to go far
She really was fucked up
We lay here in this mess of a battlefield of reaching
for endings and misunderstandings
for what we used to call a road that wed walk on back to home
A thought for every shattered memory wed mend with a blank stare in hopes
that wed get there and now regrets have fallen into eyes far away
And you wonder what it's like to be cool
Well no one here will ever lie to you
Cause it's time you carry on from all those games you play
and all those things you've ever said
that brings me back to why I don't wanna go home
Back to all this anguish, back to those simple days in May
I've been working so
I've been working so
I've been working so hard
Why you bring me down?
Why you bring me down?
I've been working so hard
You'll be smooth, I'll be smoother
Smoother than silk
Let honesty remain my virtue
Motherin' is my milk
To push strong 'til the end
Because the stress is the life
Keep on pushin' like a player
Guess you can't see our strife
We're in this together
'Cause there's no place to run
Man's built the gun
That's why I'm chasing the sun
You wanna walk how you walk
Then watch me try to stay how I stayed
I can't be swayed by the man
I love my shorties with my heart
I'll always lend them my hand
Teach my children about the seeds
You wanna take from the sand
Gotta maintain motherfucker
Gotta stick to these plans
'Cause this globalized village made it all-out war
Hip-hop will be my wings
And enough men needing to soar
I see more guns than children being born everyday
Another mother'll have to weep
Because you'd rob her's away
I guess you're never gonna figure
No man's bigger than the next
Instead of building, you'll be killing
Every man's getting vexed, so carry on
Carry on, carry on
Maintain
How would you like to stick with me?
How much do you love to free-fall?
I never thought that I would have
To stay so near to keep you, dear
How would you like to stick with me?
And do you love to free-fall?
I never thought that I would have
To speak so loud for you to hear
I need your loving
I try so hard
To maintain
I need your loving
And I try so hard
To maintain
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
I wanna chill for real
But I can't seem to escape
Because your five-minute pleasures
Got me screaming out rape
And parliament, they keep me tied up
With the fucking red tape
Left tap's on my phone
They got me thinking about fate
Hold it, freeze keeps me thinking
That there's no time to wait
And now the prison cell bars
Offer up heaven's gate
But we're like in this together
See, there's no place to run
Man's built the gun
So we're chasing the sun
Carry on, carry on
Day and night
Hell, everyday
I'll carry on, yeah yeah
On every single part I play
I'll be so strong
Hell, I won't give up the fight
Day and night
Hell, everyday
I'll carry on
I'll live my life on center stage
I'll carry on, I'll be so strong
I won't give up the fight
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
Consider this empty world
watch it as it falls
Sign it in your head
Sign it in your head
Ear their empty words
The falsity they show
Sign it in your head
Sign it in your head
Don't let 'em tear you down
Get up n' shout it loud
Don't let' em tread on you
Don't let 'em take you for a fool
Consider this empty world
Watch it as it falls
Sign it in your head
Sign it in your head
Ear their empty words
The falsity they show
Sign it in your head
Sign it in your head
[Chorus:]
You're tryin' on
To save your soul from their lies
You carry on
But they wanna change your mind
You gotta hold on
An' leave this senseless world behind
Your personal style of life
The light you got inside
Don't let 'em take it away
Don't let 'em take it away
They try to mend your head
Makin' you someone else
Don't trust in what they say
Don't trust in what they say
Hopeless, wondering if anybody noticed,
Feeling like you're drifting out of focus
Cause you're hopeless
You're just a hollow soul.
Crying, feeling like a part of you is dyin,
Reachin for the strenth to keep you tryin
Still you're cryin
You're livin in the cold.
Say goodbye to the people
You don't need in your life
Say goodbye to the heartache
And darkness of the night
Say hello to the risin of the sun
There will always be a brighter day
You got to carry on
Fire, burning with the passion it desires,
Suddenly you're hands are reachin higher
You're on fire
Your love has made you whole
Say goodbye to the people
And poison in your life
Say goodbye to the heartache
And trouble and strife
Say hello to the love thats just begun
There will always be a brighter day
You have to carry on
And no man is an island
You can't go on alone
When you're heart starts breakin
You need to come back home
We're all lookin for somethin
The search for the one
On and on and on and on
Hopeless, wondering if anybody noticed,
Feeling like you're drifting out of focus
Cause you're hopeless
You're just a hollow soul.
Say goodbye to the people
You don't need in your life
Say goodbye to the heartache
And darkness of the night
Say hello to the risin of the sun
There will always be a brighter day
You got to carry on
Say goodbye to the people
And poison in your life
Say goodbye to the heartache
And trouble and strife
Say hello to the love thats just begun
There will always be a brighter day
it's casting a silhouette as the shadow hits the wall,
it's bearing a burden of what we had before,
i'm slowly weakening,
i'm crashing out,
i'm holding on as we fall down.
carry on this isn't over,
what was i thinking of?
i was out of line,
and i would never go,
carry on, carry on
you soaked your cigarette,
the rain's hitting at all cost,
you said "i've had shallow days,
but never have felt lost"
and i can't hide that something's gone,
but we don't need no gospel song,
you know that i, i just want to carry on.
carry on, this isn't over,
what was i thinking of,
i was out of line,
and i would never go,
carry on, carry on
on my knees,
life's just not worth living,
Brother to brother, soldier to a sage
Quietly pressing along the way
Fields of lonely, mighty clouds of joy
Well, they change from day to day
So if you wake up to the sunrise
Then let it take you to a better state of mind
Ask of the night, what has it brought
Has it brought your way? Hey, hey, yeah, yeah
Carry on, my brother
Don't let it bring you down
Carry on, my brother
It's gonna be alright
When the mornin' comes
Carry on, my brother
Don't let it bring you down
Carry on, my brother
Oh, it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
When the mornin' comes
Carry on, my brother, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't let it bring you down
Carry on, my brother, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
When the mornin' comes
Oh, now, when the mornin' comes
Yeah, when the mornin' comes
No time to waste
No time to lose
The Master calls and we
Must do what we must do
An empty world is aching
For the good news
And just like Him
We must share His love again
We will carry on
Follow the way of the Master
We will carry on
And do what must be done
Carry on
Reach with love for our brothers
We will carry on
All in the name of the Son
With open hearts
And gentle hands
We can soothe the troubled soul
And dry the lonely tear
With his love inside
We can calm the fear
There is so much need
We must sow His seed
There are hungry people we must feed
We will carry on
Follow the way of the Master
We will carry on
And do what must be done
Carry on
Reach with love for our brothers
We will carry on
When you're lost and you're lonely
And your only way is up
When your day rises from you
Like a mountain to its top
Look beside you and you will find me
I will guide you when your will is gone
So carry on, carry on, carry on
What ever comes and however painful, however long
When your hope has been denied you
I will walk beside you, carry on
All my life has been a battle
Fought within me with myself
You always know what the truth is
But the trick is to know yourself
I looked around me in the darkness
And you found me
When there was no one else
So carry on, carry on, carry on
Whatever comes and however painful, however long
When your hope has been denied you
I will walk beside you, carry on
Let me count the ways that I love you
Let me count the days that we have known
Show me a place to be with you
'Cos I can't do this on my own, on my own
So carry on, carry on, carry on
What ever comes and however painful, however long
When your hope has been denied you
I will walk beside you, carry on
So carry on, carry on, carry on
Whatever comes and however painful, however long
When your hope has been denied you
I will walk beside you, carry on
When your hope has been denied you
What will we become
Fallen children of the sun
Growing much too fast
How much longer will we last?
Without a ray of love to shine on everyone
And the silence we all wish we woke upon
We once were innocent but now we're far too gone
Carry on, chasing the sun
Carry on, we'll carry on
We'll carry on til we become one
Carry on, carry on
Tales and fantasies
Are all we're left with to believe
Castles in the sand
No one really gives a damn
Without a stone to throw, how would ripples fade away
Would there be make-believe, if nothing had to change
Who are we fooling, holding on to so much rage
We'll carry on, chasing the sun
We'll carry on, carry on
Carry on til we become one
Carry on, carry on
Welcome, welcome to this humble house of age
We would like to help you in your humble state
Time has granted you so many open doors
Now it's up to you to choose which one is yours
Carry on, chasing the sun
We'll carry on, carry on
Carry on til we become one
Carry on. Overcome.
The lies that floods our compromise. The day is getting darker.
Your past that fuels the pain inside. You can rise above it.
If you’ve fallen to your knees, don’t give up just yet.
We will overcome anything and everything standing in our way.
Let go of all the things that keep us from pressing on.
Lift your head from the soil, lift your head from the toil. Breathe in life and move forward.
Breathe in life and move forward. Breathe in life and move forward.
Set apart to succeed beyond what we can dream.
Watch us rise. Watch us rise! We will shatter negativity.
Watch us rise. Watch us rise! We will shatter negativity.
’Cause we were made for more.
I know that we were made to overcome anything and everything standing in our way.
Let go of all the things that keep us from pressing on.
Lift your head from the soil, lift your head from the toil.
Breathe in life and move forward. Breathe in life and move forward.
In the wake of the one’s we lost, we’ll let their legacy live through us.
We’ll carry on, while we watch everything go wrong (go wrong).
it's been so long since i've felt hope
i've got to tell myself
there is more to these hollow shells
the consequence is too far fetched
but i've seen it through my crying eyes
there's no sadder noise than that of nothing
we keep on trying to pull it through
there blackened days...when there's nothing left
wasting time and i can't decide...
things are fucked up in my mind
pushing back the way it used to be
my mind is shut, i want to push it away
it's just another wasted day, i'm giving up
why the fuck did you claim the edge - when you couldn't
hang in the end - thought you had us fooled - come on,
you couldn't have been more wrong - i turn my back and
you hit that bong - fucked your brain - try to blame it
break me down, fuck me over
it's just a matter of time
"used and abused" says the look in my eyes
the world is full of shitty people, it can't be denied
laughing hard, crying harder. there are the days
i'm through tying to hide... "fuck these days"
it's the anthem of our youth...
the pretty need not apply
i'm through with the pain.
i thought the ideas we shared could only make us strong -
but you're caught up in self righteousness - it shows in
the words of your songs - and now you've seperated the
best of us - the only ones that seem to care - you forced
your ideas and we didn't belong - you seperated the scene
and that's fucking wrong - fuck you and your politics -
in the real world they don't mean shit - i know you're a
what you said - and what you did - can never come close
to the weight of the shit that's falling out of your
mouth on this day - live fast, burn out quick, what else
can i say - you're fucking with everyone's head - and
you're losing my respect - that's something that i should
expect - so tell me when did it change and was it always
this way - when will you see what a joke you made out of
yourself - can't you contain yourself - you put up a
front and i want to tear it down - pull your head out of
the clouds - if you think you'll pull it over me - you've
got the wrong impression of who you think i am - i saw
through your disguise - you're fucking drunk this time -
i want you to know - you're dead in my eyes - push your
way through the door - look me right in the eyes and
when will i rise from this toss turn sleep
with nothing holding me down into this bed
bring the dirt and make it my grave
won't you do it please?
everthing is shit, i owe, i lag, i try, i fail, i hate
the pseudo love the world brings on pretty wings
(it sunk my dreams at sixteen)
i can't laugh, love, breath, feel, or fuck
without knowing my life is sinking fast
and i don't swim
i dream under a sky that i can see crashing down
while i wish on a star that lies
i'm transfixed on a better time
drawing out the end
i'm crying for a life less plagued
pure and defined. why cant you give it to me?
i want to hold your head close to mine
and whisper words so far from true
"...everything will be fine"
(mixing your tears with mine)
we can shake it off kid. "i'll try harder
and i'll make sure we still se europe by the summer
time."
damn you look so sad when i lie
take my hand, we'll walk this romance
until it's bitter end
humming songs in the key of faith in me just leave me,
because the word on the street is that i'm fucked, i'm
losing my mind
it's just a matter of time
just give me a sign
and i'll make it out of here alive
i'll keep feeding ink to paper
and i still won't find an answer
i'm asking, i'm trying, i'm needing...
...but still no answer
we must be speaking a different language
"hey, who's team are you sleeping for?"
somewhere in hell there's aperson like me
with stitch filled skin, and chipped teeth
here's to eyes that are brighter than mine
and here's to regrets and wasted time
"i need a flashlight..." because i'm obviously blind
so many times i stood around
and never spoke my mind, as it boiled inside
so many words and questions
left to work out on my own
looked down upon for seeing different sides
i've got nothing to hide
you never listened to what i had on my mind
you just pushed me aside
you'll never know all the things i've seen
so don't tell me how to think
all your reasons make me sick
when communication is where it begins
so whats left to say when you won't change?
we'll stand on different ground until the end
and that's the way it will always be
the more things change, the more they stay the same -
caught in a cycle, when will it end - i don't know but
you'll get yours and that's for sure - years fly by and
the few stick together - wasting time on kids like you
makes it harder - you'd never stand up for what you
believe - you're too scared to be put down for having a
mind of your own - you're only here to be a star - but
that won't get you far - when i can see through all your
lies - you won't get what you want - not this time - why
are you here - i know just where you're at - you thought
it was another scene - but you caught on quick and it's
not what it seems - you don't know what this means - seen
kids come around without a clue - they talk their shit
but never followed through - living a lie, a month to a
facing tomorrow - pushing ahead - can't get in the way -
my sights are set and i'm watching you fall behind -
you're so fucked up - you lost your touch - looking back,
at all your choices - were they worth the cost - look
back at what you've done - and i know i haven't lost -
i'm in tune with myself and the world - but take a look
at you - you burned yourself so quick - your mind's been
wrecked from all that shit - where we stand and what we
do - it's up to us to see it through - we're expected to
break - we're expected to fold - we'll put up a fight and
moving on - how can we keep our heads - when facing
critics for making a change - in our lives - today, just
follow your heart and be yourself - a lot of kids are so
set in their ways - but they don't know what the fuck it
means - understand that i'll be there for you -
supporting the ways that you choose to exist - in this
world, just do what's right in your mind and i'll be
there for you - change today and we'll be moving on -
i'd like to think that i don't care
just push away my problems like there's no one there
these days are long, to long to spend waiting
for storms over a tragic end
and this is how we'll meet embraced in misery
searching for love in all this hurt
it's the cold, cold world versus you and me
i write just to forget nothing's the same
you drink just to forget
because you can't deal with the pain
but you're not to blame, i know we're the same
i used to think solutions were clear
guided by a crowd that came and went with the years
those days are gone but i'm still holding on
trying to fight the world through a pen and a song
there was a time (and it's coming back)
where i'd look at someone like you
and know we're the same (because we are the same)
i'm through with the games...
this world is fucked, but i'm still looking up
i broke the rules and now i'm making amends
with what they said and what it meant...
what did it have to do with me anyway?
i'm through with your lies
sometimes i wonder if i'm the only one
who even gives a fuck
i watch it fall apart and i want to build it up
but you just turn away
i can't do this by myself so look for other ways
i'm trying to get it out of this rut
the dust has built for too long
if this means so much more than words
than show me sign and quit dropping the lines
stying positive was just a setup
so you could take the punch when they let you down
(it's where we're heading)
so x your fist, show me what's left inside
i'm so sick of everyone's excuses
i want to tear them down
let down before but never again
i wont buy into your shit
i'll just believe in my friends
if that's something that you don't understand
i'm barley alive, my heart just sunk at the thought
of where you're at... you're not with me
and i'm losing hold on the center of my life
it's turning black...
"i feel alone in this fucking city"
miles of separation
with only a phone to let you know
it's killing me to stay so far away
but i can't go back to that place
where i gave up my dreams
and i broke myself for acceptance
but it never embraced me
and it crushes me to know
every word i wrote to you
never saw the fucking light of day
would it have changed a thing?
could it have taken away our pain?
it was a lesson learned...
...one i could have done without
i can't live with a broken heart
when it's the one thing we share
a million miles away so i'll keep waiting...
do you know what it's like to be against the odds and
reach for something that seems so out of reach - well i
don't think you do - because you turn and run while
opportunities pass you by - maybe if you saw through my
eyes - you'd feel it's worth and you'd know what it means
to try - and where do you get off putting others down
when they fail - you played the role of an empty goal -
quals no meaning - i can't say the same - it's in my sole
- stay focused, it's always worth trying and i won't quit
- because i thought you had more in you - but i guess
that wasn't you - and now i know it takes more effort
than what you gave - and i'm drawing the line, the line
is drawn - you're in no position to look down on me -
because we all have problems and we all fuck up - but the
effort's for myself - i never did this shit for you - so
inside you're dying
you can't face the short comings in your life
looking for something to redirect the pain
i'm not sorry that you can't relate
but it's killing me to watch you act this way
and it's hard to see the way it used to be
when i'm wiping the spit off my face
we'll be here through the years
while you're so convinced we'll fall like the season
but give me one good reason...
well it's nothing that i haven't heard before
but it's like comparing still water to rain
when it's your voice that carries the same old shit
i never thought we would end this way
did you used to believe?
well i was feeling the same way...
squeezing dreams out of a sound
they stick around, they go away
but none of you know a thing about me...
...just go away
"she's fucking dead, oh my god, she's fucking dead!!!"
my love stopped her breathing
now i'm chucking rocks at the glass
because my love stopped breathing life into me
and the songs that she sings
are as dead as nails on the shelf
what happened to the times
where we'd stay up all night and fight
(life there was something worth fighting for)
those were the days dear, forgive me for holding on
i was thinking about the times when no one cared
and how you hated everything i loved
well i don't give a fuck about any of you
you'll come and go
but you'll never mean a thing to her...
i believed in zines and sounds from the stereo
they spit lies but for years it's all i knew
fast forward the years these people don't mean shit
they stole my heart jumped in the car and split
we're fucked up kids with broken hearts
put in your faith and we'll tear it apart
don't look at me...don't call me
with your worthless words
my voice is lost from all the screaming before
circuits and pens...they couldn't change a thing
your apology is so long overdue
i crumbled eighteen years
seeing is believing - what the fuck were you thinking -
on tv preaching when you shouldn't be thinking - take
these ideals, comfort them and twist them - every good
point made, well you missed them - leave it alone - i'm
sick and tired of trying to explain that i'm not in a
looking at a faded photo of what once was - it's harder
to believe there was so much pride - and honesty in what
you wrote - you're making a comeback ten years later -
what should i think - you want our money - fuck you, man
- you ain't getting it from me - you're up on a stage
without a clue - why can't you find something better to
do - i look in your eyes and wonder what to think - your
words don't seem true to me - what did you do with all
that time - where did you think you'd be now - i know you
think you've got everyone fooled - but there's still a
lot of kids that can see right through - you fed a fire
so long ago - but you forgot the feeling it gave you -
you put to words the way we felt - you gave us so much
more - now it's time you see what we have - we built this
all ourselves - it's all our effort - it's all our blood
headfirst into a wall, you chained yourself to the fall
i want to believe there's a chance it's hold will
break...
break away(nothing left for you to save)
a slave to chemicals
a victim of this fucked up world
trying to escape your pain
but now it's all you'll ever know
we've built up these walls with so much fear and hate -
and every brick we laid was another bad call made - and
if we keep it up, we just might - lost everything we were
reaching for - cause you know we could make this so much
more - strive as one together, not just one apart - let's
lay to rest these differences - cause you know we're
above all that shit - just put aside our egos man and
let's do this right - so much time has passed but you
still haven't learned to move along - there's nothing we
can lose so why don't you just move along - stuck on the
past, you can't relate - you're bringing me down, can't
you see what you've done to us - you're to pick yourself
up man - you're making this so much less than what i see
Crash into reality,
The truth is that we'll always suffer.
This is our reality
And know that we will always suffer.
We'll overcome this world
And pray for better days.
If you feel like giving up baby well don't turn around
Be strong, hold on
(Well don't turn around)
We will carry on
I’ll take your burdens upon my shoulders
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for every breath you take
I'll be there through every move you make
We'll overcome this world
And pray for better days.
Facing this reality,
We always look for something better.
Forget this reality
For we were meant for something greater.
If you feel like giving up baby well don't turn around
Hold on!
If you feel like giving up baby well don't turn around
Be strong, hold on
(Well don't turn around)
We will carry on
I’ll take your burdens upon my shoulders
We will carry on
Your smile has been so good to me;
You made my blues disappear...
You helped pull me through
The darkest hours with truth and love.
So live your life in bliss,
And take this tender kiss for your flower;
My inspiration now
Is what you gave to me every hour.
Carry-on, the past has gone and paid for
Solo-on, through the door you're made for
Love flows on, through the gates of heaven
We are one, by the light of seven.
The saints and the saviour have all talked about
The cause of our downfall and how to get out
The yogis and mystics on spiritual planes,
The gurus and devas they all say the same.
Spiritual flame...keep it burning.
In faith we'll journey on,
Love's promise gets it on, oh yea
And everyone will be sparks of the family of love.
Somewhere beyond the sun, the lord he turned me on and on.
He said, "be not afraid, the summer's gonna come one of these days..."
Carry-on! the past has gone and paid for
Solo-on! through the door you're made for
Love flows on, through the gates of heaven
We are one, by the light of seven.
A new thing is happening on this planet now,
We're hearing the buddha, the christ and the tao
The mystery of music is mystery no more
It powers the starships...the colours of awe...
When the planets align you'll get your shot at the stars
I hope you're okay with that.
I know it's not what you expected, but I will perfect it.
Just lay your time on the ground,
Seek simplicity, and find your way back home.
Carry on, Carry on, this is just the beginning.
The second inning to the game
Let's just move along, move along as if nothing could stop us.
Nothing can stop us now that we know where we belong.
It's just like you to walk away when things get too tough.
I am, I am the constant pulse in your beat.
If only you could see what I see
Maybe you would realize
The more you learn the less you'll know of me or what will be.
We belong to you.
Wrap your arms around me; tell me I'm the image in your eyes.
Hold a tight grip (Don't let go), don't slip (Now I know)
I heard your footsteps this morning
You know it's hard to get by when you don't sleep at all
I heard your footsteps this morning
You know it's hard to get by when you don't sleep at all
I'm just trying to be honest when I say
My body's feeling tired and I've got to move on
But I hope and I pray that your legs will somehow find the strength
And they all carry on
They want nothing but to be better off
And I've hurt and I've aged
But I found it in my heart to believe you are home
Some nights I have this blurred vision
Where we dance in a dream to the songs that we love
Those songs have played for the lonely souls
Who are singing along when it wasn't enough
Just to hope and to pray that their bodies somehow find the strength
And they all carry on
They want nothing but to be better off
And I've hurt and I've aged
But I found it in my heart to believe
I've been waiting for good news since you left
Little piece of my heart's been pounding out of my chest
We're all waiting for good news, aren't we now?
And they all carry on
They want nothing but to be better off
And I've hurt and I've aged
But I found it in my heart to believe you are home
I've been waiting for good news since you left
Little piece of my heart's been pounding out of my chest
here stands my castle on a cloud
its easy going not a trouble around
have i found my resting place
is it here when i am down on my face
i didnt mean it, you'd never believe it
i never knew how things must change
i couldnt help it, i never did doubt it
that you'd still love me all the same
i'm not giving up
i've just had enough
i'm not going down
i am standing now
on Your Holy ground
i'm not going down
this solitude is breaking me
i've been kneeling here what seems an eternity
does my patience have no worth
a stale virtue it stands undeterred
so lift me up
i'll leave all this behind me
so take me up
take me up right now
I rest my body on the ground
My wings are to heavy to lift me up
The river carries me away
Towards the ocean closer everyday
Where am I now?
Where should I go
I have to carry on, life must carry on
My friends are on the riverside
They are whatching me floating by
Life is short and death is long
Is there a place where I belong?
Where am I now?
Where should I go
I have to carry on, life must carry on
Where am I now, where should I go?
I've been drifting for so long
It's overtaken,
Obsessed with faking,
I'm blind,
Looking at my own reflection.
There's nothing changing,
When I'm overtaken,
The sound of your voice.
In my head, in my head, in my head
I know I can't let go,
Am I just dead and loney?
I'm stuck and incomplete,
Still I know,
I must carry on, carry on
Leave it all behind.
Carry on when you're wrong,
Am I dying inside?
Close my eyes to remind,
How you look when you smile,
Carry on when you're wrong,
I'll pretend I'm alright.
Obsessed with faking,
You know I'm broken inside,
Looking at my own reflection.
Am I lost?
Walking backwards,
To the sound of your voice,
In my head, in my head, in my head.
Cause I know I can't let go,
Am I just dead and lonely?
I'm stuck and incomplete,
Still I know,
I must carry on, carry on
Leave it all behind.
Carry on when you're wrong,
Am I dying inside?
Close my eyes to remind,
How you look when you smile,
Carry on when you're wrong,
I'll pretend I'm alright.
What I need you can't remove,
You don't feel the same as I do,
Guess I've burned myself today.
Carry on, carry on
Leave it all behind.
Carry on when you're wrong,
Am I dying inside?
Close my eyes to remind,
How you look when you smile,
Carry on when you're wrong,
I'll pretend I'm alright.
Carry on, carry on,
In my head, in my head
Carry on, carry on,
In my head, in my head
Carry on, carry on,
In my head, in my head
Carry on, carry on,
In the morning
I was weary
In the morning
I was lost
But in the evening
I was dreaming
Of our love
And the way it carries on
In the city
I was working
Feeling busy
Chasin time
But when I'm tired
She's my fire
Cause I know that her love is always mine
She assures me
That when life hurts me
Our love will carry on
In the afternoon
I was worried
About the future and where I'd go
But when I'm thinking
Looking for a single thread
A melody to help me get by
while we're passing the time.
Is it real?
Does it give too much away?
Is pouring out my heart til you come back
a reason to stay, do you know?
Is this way home?
Is this way...
We just stare while the wheels fall off
But everyone seems to carry on, carry on
No time to tell ya how much we lost
Coz everyone needs to carry on, carry on.
Looking for some words to say
Theres no familiar faces round here
but the feeling's the same
Is it real?
Does it give to much away?
Is pouring out my heart till you come back
a reason to stay, do you know?
Is this way home?
Is this way...
We just stare while the wheels fall off
But everyone seems to carry on, carry on
No time to tell ya how much we lost
Coz everyone needs to carry on, carry on.
Carry on, carry on.
Carry on carry on.
Carry on, (carry on.)
Everyone needs to carry on
The places you know,
the friends that you owe.
Somewhere to go.
Does it pay to be alone?
Will I fall?
Is this way home?
Is this way home?
Is this way home?
We just stare while the wheels fall off
But everyone seems to carry on, carry on
No time to tell ya how much we lost
Coz everyone needs to carry on, carry on.
Carry on, carry on.
Carry on carry on.
Carry on, (carry on)
Everyone needs to carry on, carry on.
It's the way I feel.
Speak up when you know that it's real.
It seems like it's taking you over.
Theres nothing in this world I can't show ya.
Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on
All right, little sister
You’re a bit shaken, but you’re looking good
Inside, you got beat up
And your pride took a bit of flak
You tried hard, worked like a dog
Gave your best shot but you ran out of luck
In flames down to the ground
Oh, you want a second chance? You got it!
(CHORUS)
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Little sister
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh yeah yeah
You get stuck deep down shit city
You get back, got your head screwed right
So jump in, keep your head above the water
Oh, you want a second chance? You got it!
(CHORUS)
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Little sister
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh yeah yeah
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh, you want a second chance?
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh yeah yeah
Open your eyes, girl, and look around
Don’t people out there make you want to fight on?
(CHORUS)
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh, you want a second chance?
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh yeah yeah, keep your head above the water
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Open your eyes, girl
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Don’t people out there make you want to fight on? Oh

Little sister
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh yeah yeah, keep your head above the water
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Don’t people out there make you want to fight on?
Every inhale matches my heartbeat
Every exhale sounds of melody
Saw how you crawled inside my soul
Now you're taking oh oh over
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Doesn't get much better than this
Every inhale matches my heartbeat
Every exhale sounds of melody
Saw how you crawled inside my soul
Now you're taking oh oh over
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Doesn't get much better than this
Here I am standing in the night
My crescent wand the only light
Alone against my darkest fear
But I sense my friends are near
I'll draw from each the power I need
The evil Queen we will defeat
CHORUS
Give me the strenght to carry on
With all our love we can't go wrong
Only together we face the fight
Nothing can stand against our might
REPEAT CHORUS
Give me the strenght to carry on (carry on)
With all our love we can't go wrong
Only together we face the fight (Face the fight)
Nothing can stand against our might
With all our strength the battle's won
With all our love we can't go wrong
Seasons are turning
The world keeps holding on
Why are they fighting to be strong
We found a reason
And though the road is long
Love is the place we belong
Carry on, got to find your way
Carry on, there's a price to pay
Carry on, and on and on and on
And on
When the world gets you down
You can turn it around
If you carry on
You can reach to the top
Don't give in, don't give up
Got to carry on
Seasons are turning
The world keeps holding on
Why are we fighting for so long
Brothers and sisters
We know the road is long
Love is the place we belong
When the world gets you down
You can turn it around
If you carry on
You can reach to the top
Don't give in, don't give up
Got to carry on
And when the feeling's gone
Just keep on holding on
You'll find that you are strong
[Crooked Eye]
9 months, 10 days, 60 minutes of pain
moma opened up, screamed my name
pictured her son in the game
many nights, I didn't know if I'd see another meal
but you did what you had to do, always keeping it real
pops was locked up for hustlin, but he gave he can
so I respect the fact, he raised a boy to a man
now you gone, god sent death to ya tonite
i hope the angels lead the way, guide you straight to the light
fuck me up in the brain, seein more thugs in them tubes
life's got your boy hatin and all but there's nothin I can do
momma I miss ya, this baby boy, gotta move on
so a dedication of my love, is why I wrote ya this song
if I could, I'd glady trade my life in for yours
takin it like a soulja, and I'm going to war
you haven't made a return since you left, i've been so all alone
tell me mamma, how ya baby boy supposed to move on
[O'Dell/Peaches]
my life's been different since my moma's gone
tell me how will I carry on...
my life's been different since my moma's gone
tell me how will I carry on...
my life's been different since my moma's gone
tell me how will I carry on...
my life's been different since my moma's gone
tell me how will I carry on...
[Mr. Serv-On]
even though I had a brother and a sister
you met my pops and made him your mister
he was with ya two years after ya died
and gave me life and took advantage
now I'm all alone, two kids foster grown
me, young and scared, of your presence in the world
fuck you in stress you brought less
and smiled on us, 3 sins without forgiveness
our witness, a few men coming and going,
now I know they didn't leave for free
so even if I give my fucking life up,
this shit didn't amount to what you gave me
a child couldn't breath right, for the first 60 nights in his life
you stand by my side like we was riders and we goin to ride
that's why I get high, this love affair between you and i
and I couldn't believe when my homey said,
him and his momma wasn't family
and I hope god takes the breath out of me,
if that even crosses my mind,
and in time, I know you gonna leave me,
that's why until then, your in my psalm 27 dash one,
and I'm your son, momma I love you

[Billy Bavgate]
dear momma, forgive me I'm a ghetto child
i'm tryin to slow down, I'm living foul and wild
i know you looking at me from the sky
you say I got my poppy eyes, I gotta long ass story to write
i think about you everytime I'm high,
they say a nigga tell the truth when he high
where I'm a go when I die? god forgive me,
for my stress, my momma left,
me when I was six
i needed a momma as a kid,
my poppa wasn't there for me
so I kicked it with my homies,
but you still in my heart since the day one
cuz I'm still your son, and I know where I came from
fool, like your moms, I'm crying now
kick it back, smoke a blunt, with fifty wide out
[O'Dell/Peaches]

[Peaches]
how will I carry on, now that my momma's gone
dear lord help me be strong, so I can carry on
i'd like to change since you've been gone
We walk around, we wander free
We have the choice to create our destiny
You have the hand which holds the key
I have the heart who'll take the next beat
Follow the light that will guide us over
Its all or none
Taking as risk never missing the point now
You live only once
Carry on
Carry the light that you're on
Carry on
Riding the dream that you want
And this rides taking off
Forget the past they said to me
You have the strength to lye or let it be
I'm on the run to take a chance
Holding for the one to make this slow dance
Fighting the fight that will take us over
It's all or none
I'm on the ride of my life so hold on
You live only once
Carry on
Carry the light that you're on
Carry on
Riding the dream that you want
And this rides taking off
Carry on
Carry the light that you're on
Carry on
Riding the dream that you want
A slender twenty four year old
Walked herself across a road
Under weeping trees
Twenty years her memory
As she held her father's hand
And the family sang Amazing Grace
In the pouring rain
Before her feet a stone with words
A gift for those she parted
And in every cut of stone
She found where she had started
And she knew more who she was
From the where that she had come
And the things that bind us
Carry on while I'm gone away
Carry on with a smile on your face
I'm as big as you keep in your heart
And there I'll stay. I'll remain
As you in me. There I'll be
She ran her hand across the stone
And heard her mother's laughter
And promised to tell each one
The story of their grandma
And the things that had been been taken
Made a vow to give her own
Be the tie unbroken
Carry on while I'm gone away
Carry on with a smile on your face
I'm as big as you keep in your heart
And there I'll stay. I'll remain
I am here all alone
It's just You, me and this broken prayer
How I've longed to share
The feelings of this restless heart
It's been a long and narrow road
And my feet are bare with no soul
And when I fall down to the ground
I'll get back up and carry on
'Cause I'm longing to know You
Longing to find You
Longing feel You deep inside
You know that I love You
You know that I trust You
Sometimes it's hard to feel You next to me
But I'll carry on
I'll carry on
When Your wind blows
It leads me to places unknown
I may not see You
But I can feel You leading me on
And when I find You
You'll be there with Your arms open wide
Until that day comes
Yes, I have the hope of new life
So I'll carry on
I'll carry on, I'll carry on
I'm longing to know You
I'm longing to find You
Longing feel You deep inside
You know that I love You
You know that I trust You
No more seeking answers walking blind in the dead of night
No more living in the shadows of our dreams of better lives
Cause I won't forget you spoke of love and hope, you spoke of truth and life
No I won't forget I was alone in the dark and you showed me light
It's not the end, it's not too late (This is the day) (This is the day!)
Don't be afraid to face the day today!
Carry on, Carry on because today is in our grasp
Carry on, Carry on time will heal in time these days will pass
No more seeking truth while daylight fades in the dust of lies
No more living half a life as we watch the profits rise
Cause I won't forget you gave me hope that we can win this fight
And I won't forget you showed me what it means to be alive
It's not the end, it's not too late (This is the day) (This is the day!)
Don't be afraid to face the day today!
Carry on, Carry on and now we live for brighter days
Carry on, Carry on the memories fade but I I'll never be the same
I closed my eyes and you walked away
I closed my eyes and you walked away
Carry on, Carry on because today is in our grasp
Carry on, Carry on time will heal in time these days will pass
Carry on, Carry on and now we live for brighter days
Here I'm standing in the night,
My crescent wand the only light.
Alone against my darkest fear,
But I sense my friends are near,
I'll draw from each the power I need,
Evil Queen we will defeat!
Give me the strength to carry on,
With all our love we can't go wrong,
Only together we face the fight,
Nothing can stand against our might.
Give me the strength to carry on,
With all our love we can't go wrong,
Only together we face the fight,
Nothing can stand against our might.
With all our strength the battle's won,
With all our love we can't go wrong,
My head is stuck in a rhyme
And it's only a matter of time
He said
I remember when we were young
It was over before it'd begun
She said
Wake up and gat our of this light
(It was 3 in the afternoon)
I don't know how long I'll fight to see this through
Give me something, I've got nothing to say
Fall asleep and get carried away
Carry on, you'll be fine
My soul's getting harder to sow
I try but emotions won't grow
Again (He said)
It's the only time I feel safe
And it hurts me to turn away
She said
The world we had is gone
I'll rest my head till I start to belong
Let the sun shine through the rooms
Before we fade
Give me something, I've got nothing to say
Fall asleep and get carried away
Carry on, you'll be fine
Give me something, I've got nothing to say
Fall asleep and get carried away
Carry on, carry on
And I just keep hoping
That your heart will start to follow me
You start insisting that we're missing the light of day
Forget forgotten, keep the best as sweeter memories
You push me further when I'm on
The edge of breaking down
Give me something, I've got nothing to say
Fall asleep and get carried away
Carry on, carry on
Give me something, I've got nothing to say
Fall asleep and get carried away
Carry on, you'll be fine
Give me something, I've got nothing to say
Fall asleep and get carried away
Simple minded brain
for now you succumb
Nothing changes your way
This world insists to be the same
based on our mistakes
The flowers fade along the road
Don't blindfold your eyes,
so loneliness becomes the law
of a senseless life
Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are on your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride
to get there... [go!]
Now we'll have to face another day
You won't be alone
This life is forcing us to stay
- For how long?
Cold is the wind and thunder struck
on a stormy night
But can't you see, I'm by your side
We are marching on!
Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are in your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride
to get there...
So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past, to carry on
Follow your steps and you will find
The unknown ways are on your mind
Need nothing else than just your pride
to get there...
So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past
So, carry on,
There's a meaning to life
Which someday we may find...
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past
Carry on, it's time to forget
The remains from the past, to carry on
Remains from the past, to carry on
There are moments in my lifetime
When I think it can't get worst
I don't know how to get through all the darkness, all the pain
And seems that life is a curse
I take my time, I close my eyes
I find the solution in my heart
All i have to do is just believe in myself, believe in myself
And find the power for a brand new start
Sometime life is not that easy
Destiny seems to tees me
But I will carry on
Might be hard and might be tough
But I know I'm strong enough
So I will carry on
The sky is not always as blue
Heavy clouds cover the sun
Sometimes rain falls down on me
Really hurts to see,
Something has gone wrong
I take my time, I close my eyes
I find the solution in my heart
All i have to do is just believe in myself, believe in myself
And find the power for a brand new start
Sometime life is not that easy
Destiny seems to tees me
But I will carry on
Might be hard and might be tough
but I know I'm strong enough
Sometime life is not that easy
Destiny seems to tees me
But I will carry on
Might be hard and might be tough
But I know I'm strong enough
It is fading out of summertime
And I’m trying to find a different peace of mind
When it seems the world doesn’t treat me right
And I am writing you a melody
Cuz our words have seemed so distant recently
I tried to tell you what’s on my mind
But you didn’t seem to have the time
To shed some light
And keep me safe tonight
So carry on then, carry on
Carry on, then, carry on
And in the morning I’ll wake up again
And the new sunlight will lead me to forget
Today, when the world didn’t treat me right
But for now this night has got no end
Cuz I wait for you, I thought you were my friend
And you’d always lend a hand
But now I know exactly where you stand
Don’t waste your time to keep me safe tonight
He’ll come home to me
And he’ll ask me how I’ve been
And I will not say anything to him
As if this were a game I could win
But I’m not disappointed or let down
Cuz it’s time my senses finally came around
To know when the world doesn’t treat you
You can’t expect just one to greet you
And all these distances may never be explained
But I suppose I’ll go on loving all the same
So don’t think of me too much darling as you change
Just carry on then, carry on
Carry on then, carry on, oh carry on.
Won't you think about it baby?
Won't you think about it baby?
Won't you think about it baby?

So we say goodbye
and let the doves fly home.
We remember all the memories,
anything, just to feel your love again.
Cause there's no colour in this world.
There's no colour with out you.
So we say goodbye.
So we, So we say goodbye.
And You wont be left behind. Your heart carries on in
our minds.
The times that we had we'll hold close and we'll always
remember.
Nothing is going to change, I still think of you every
second of the day.
And I can still see your face, it flashes through my
mind every time I close my eyes.
So we say goodbye and let the doves fly home.
So this is pain. Don't say you'll never feel again.
Some times we hate the world for all the wrong reasons.
But this is life, and sometimes life will bring us
down.
Just remember ill be there for you, I know you'll be
there for me.
Nothings going to change, I still think of you every
second of the day.
I can still see your face, it flashes through my mind
Recurring thoughts
Take hold again
Shut them out
Take hold again
Carry on
Leave it all behind
Carry on
Run away
From yourself, afraid
Hide away
This might never end
Carry on
Leave it all behind
Carry on
Leave it all...
And the clock is ticking over and over and over
Leave it behind
Don't lose your way
You cannot hide the pain
Carry on
Leave it all behind
Carry on
Leave it all behind

It gets under my skin
The need to just one time win
When I am given a reward
It's often at the wrong end of a sword
The way that you have handled me
Makes me wish that I was free
I wanna just get up and run
My time with you has lost it's fun
When you look at me I know
That it's time for me to go
I don't care about what you've lost
Or about your personal cost
My life isn't yours to change
Improve, better, or rearrange
Ya take me for what I am
Or don't cause I don't give a damn
I won't take anymore of this
It consumes my mind
I won't take another, minute of this,
Waste of my time
I, I, I,
I can take a shot at this myself
I, I, I,
I will carry on
Now it's time to figure it out
Think hard of what it's all about
Is any of this good for me
I got no time to wait and see
I'm out the gate like an angry stampede
Bound and determined to succeed
If you're an obstacle in my way
Two lonely strangers
Too many miles away
Fallin asleep to the same song
As the night comes over them
It takes them both away
To a place they've been for so long
And in the morning they wake up crying
Once again, this time was only a dream
And they'll spend the rest of their young lives trying
To meet as hard as it seems
Chorus:
They carry on the hard way
Life goes on despite the heartache
And you're wrong if you dont make
An effort to believe
Two lonely strangers
Approaching each other
With eyes for no other than they who they see at night
As he looks over, sees her feet past her shoulder
With eyes that could light up the night
Despite the thrill, there is something forming
Just like that, they were back in their sleep
With no words spoken
Their dream left broken
So they carry on as hard as it seems
Chorus
Two lonely strangers
Too many miles away
Falling asleep to the same song
As the night comes over them
It takes them both away
To a place theyve been for so long
And in the morning they wake up crying
Once again, this time was only a dream
And they'll spend the rest of theyre young lives trying
To meet as hard as it seems
Chorus
They carry on
