Lyrics
Carry It On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a man by my side walking
There's a voice within me talking,
There's a voice, within me saying,
Carry on, carry it on.
They will tell their empty stories,
Send their dogs to bite our bodies,
They will lock us up in prison,
Carry on, carry it on.
When you can't go on any longer,
Take the hand, hand of your brother,
Every victory brings another,
Carry it on, carry it on.
Carry on, carry it on.
Repeat 1st Verse
Carry it on, carry it on.
